By: GreenRunner May 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, CA - First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden are leading a national initiative, Joining Forces, to honor and support the nation’s service members and their families. The initiative enrolls Americans to serve military families through various volunteer opportunities. “Joining Forces was created to recognize and serve our nation’s extraordinary military families who, like their loved ones in uniform, serve and sacrifice so much so that we can live in freedom and security,” said Mrs. Obama in a released statement. “This is a challenge to every segment of American society not to simply say thank you but to mobilize, take action and make a real commitment to supporting our military families.”
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) is answering the challenge by calling on ACE-certified personal trainers to donate service hours. Trainers across the country are pledging free workout hours to enrich the lives of military families. In Los Angeles, personal trainer, Martise Moore, pledged 100 hours of free fitness training through her company, GreenRunner. Beginning June 1, 2011, activated National Guard and Reserve members and their immediate families will be able to find participating fitness professionals on ACE’s website at: http://www.acefitness.org/ For more information on Joining Forces, visit http://www.whitehouse.gov/ Contact: Martise Moore, Founder GreenRunner 213-986-4949 http://www.greenrunnerla.com # # # GreenRunner is an outdoor fitness company in Los Angeles that stands for natural movement.
