 According to the Harvard School of Public Health, 73% of adults have participated in sports at some point. 89% of parents claim to have a child benefitting from sport participation.
From recreational player to Olympic medalist, sports leave a lasting impact on our lives. Even if you’ve never stepped foot into an athletic arena, my bet is that you are only one degree of separation away. Are you the parent of an athlete? Are you married to a sports fan? It’s undeniable, sports infiltrate our culture.

By: Thérèse Buckingham, NBC-HWC  Is there a gift you didn’t get for the holidays? Most of us don’t expect to get everything on our list. However, the gift I’m thinking of probably wasn’t on your list. It wouldn’t have been wrapped in a box and tied up with a bow. It wouldn’t have been tucked into your stocking or enclosed in a card.
By: Thérèse Buckingham, NBC-HWC  Let’s start with a true story. About four years ago I walked behind a lady who moved with considerable difficulty down the aisle of an airplane. When we reached the door she very slowly turned around and as she carefully lowered herself into the waiting wheelchair she looked up at me and with a deep sigh said, “Don’t get old. Die young.”
This hit me like a ton of bricks. It definitely wasn’t the advice I wanted to hear. After all, I had been telling people that I was going to live to 100! However, in hindsight, I realize now that her unsolicited advice had a great deal of value. It got me thinking about the future of my health. She made me realize that I don’t just want a long life, I want a long life full of vitality. This then became the theme for my health story. By: Caitlin Boyd, NBC-HWC  Stretching helps keep those muscles flexible and maintain optimal range of motion. This year has thrown me for a loop. Like everyone, I’ve had to make adjustments in all aspects of my life. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is one of my absolute top values, and my fitness routine is a big factor in maintaining it. I have had to make some major shifts to keep it up, but it’s been so worth it!
 Calling all sun-worshippers! July is high-season for catching some rays, working on that golden tan, and playing hard while the sun smiles down upon us. July is also UV Safety Awareness Month. Talk about throwing a damper on the fun…. but you can have your fun in the sun and be safe too!
