Hello –
I am a Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas grantee with The Duke Endowment. Dr. Stout spoke at the kick-off meeting in March 2016 in Charlotte, NC. She mentioned an evidence-based intervention in her presentation “The Daily Mile”. This program had not been replicated to our knowledge in the United States of America. Our HPHC partnership decided to pursue this intervention. We have received permissions from the U.K. to utilize their logo, and they stated that we would be the first in the U.S. to implement The Daily Mile. We are in the middle of lauching this program at every elementary school in Montgomery county and at one elementary school in Richmond County. We have utilized grant funds to build 0.2 – 0.25 mile walking trails on school campuses. We are very excited about this project. The students and the teachers have been very receptive to implementation. We are hosting our first ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 29 at Star Elementary School.
I wanted to let Dr. Soma know thsi was happening, since she planted the seed.
I would like to send her the invitation so she can see it is happening, but I do not have her direct email. Can you send me her email address?
Thank you.
