NorthPoint Health and Wellness to Host Fit-4-Fun Fitness event September 15 2012

Aug. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- On Saturday, September 15, 2012, NorthPoint will host its first annual Fit-4-Fun Event.  This event will include a family oriented 1 and 3 mile walk/run/bike ride, group aerobics, music, dancing, prizes, healthy food options, health and wellness information and most importantly fun.

NorthPoint Health & Wellness Center (NorthPoint) has made a strategic decision and priority to engage our community to make better informed decisions concerning their health and wellness and encourage them to simply "get up and move."  We are committed to providing people accessible options and opportunities to improve their physical fitness.

NorthPoint is dedicating this first event in the honor and memory of Dr. John M. Williams, former NorthPoint Board Chair, dentist, community advocate and avid athlete.  Dr. Williams collapsed and died suddenly on July 8th while walking near his home.  He had established a daily routine and goal of walking 2000 steps in 20 minutes as part of his recovery from kidney transplant surgery.  We want to continue his walk and complete the 2000 steps in his honor.  

For more information, please feel free to contact Phil Hernandez at 612-543-2564 or philip.hernandez@co.hennepin.mn.us.  

We look forward to your participation!
