THOUSANDS of African American women NATIONWIDE are dropping everything and walking for 100 MINUTES – in their communities, wherever they are – starting EXACTLY at 4:30pm EST on SUNDAY,March 10th – as a “MOVING TRIBUTE” – to commemorate Harriet Tubman exactly 100 years after her death.
Black Girls RUN! is teaming up with GirlTrek, a national health organization at this *FREE EVENT*. You can sign up online at http://www.girltrek.org/.
“… This is the start of something BIG, a new freedom movement – freedom from disease and depression holding us back from our healthiest, most fulfilled lives. We are not a statistic. We are strong and loving sisters, leaders of our communities. This obesity crisis, ain’t NUTHIN compared to the road we’ve traveled…”
Thousands of women and girls have already registered to walk 100 minutes in their communities on Tubman Day. This event will kick-off an 8-week commitment to walk 30 minutes a day, 5 days per week for better health.
