The Challenge! > What is the 5/30 Health and Wellness Challenge ?

The 5/30 Health and Wellness Challenge invites children and adults to take action for their health, enjoyably and at their own pace.


Something new for 2010 : the addition of the Wellness component to the “5/30†to lend a more global approach to health that stresses the importance of taking care of body and mind!


Whether you already practice a healthy lifestyle or wish to adopt one, the Health Challenge is for you!


WHAT DOES THE 5/30 HEALTH AND WELLNESS CHALLENGE INVOLVE?
