GetFitTN is a statewide awareness program developed by Governor Phil Bredesen to address the rising epidemic of Type 2 diabetes and risk factors that lead to diabetes, like obesity.

Get Fit Team Joins Sequatchie County Event for Kids




   

Hundreds of children and parents filled the Sequatchie County Fairgrounds for the "Give A Kid A Chance" back to school fair on July 24, 2009.

The Get Fit Tennessee Team joined in the fun, offering a fitness dice activity game to children and adults who wanted to get moving. Get Fit Tennessee also gave each child who attended a free Frisbee to encourage them to get outdoors and play more at home, and offered information to adults about the free Get Fit Tennessee Web site tools to help them stay on track for a healthier lifestyle.

The event is hosted by the Community Advisory Board, along with help from Police and EMS services in order to serve a large percentage of Sequatchie County's population. Roughly 600 people were on site for the free hair cuts, backpacks and school supplies, clothing, car seat safety checks and much more.
