Next Sunday you have an opportunity to help raise money for The Trail Foundation (TTF). TTF’s mission is to “protect and enhance the Trail at Lady Bird Lake”. When you enter the inaugural Be Well Walk, The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation will match your registration fee and give all funds back to The Trail Foundation, or the charity of your choice. The walk is Sunday, October 2nd at 4 p.m. It’s your trail, get on it!
“The Be Well Walk is a unique opportunity to exercise and help local organizations working to foster a fit generation of young people in every community in Austin,” said Susan Dell, co-founder and chairman on the board for the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. “Just by joining us on the second of October, anyone in the community can help generate additional funding for our Austin area partners and further their mission to make Austin a healthier place to live.”
The Be Well Walk is the latest initiative in the Foundation’s continued effort to fight to end childhood obesity. In the spirit of helping moms give their children the gift of wellness, Susan Dell wrote Be Well: Messages from Moms on Living Healthier Lives. The book is a compilation of the stories of urban moms throughout the country who are working to establish life-long, healthy habits in their children. The Be Well movement has reached moms in 50 states.
