Make A Move
Movement is important. Movement matters.
"He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything."
Mississippi currently ranks #1 most unhealthy state in the nation, leading in risk of heart disease, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and more. Studies show, however, that daily exercise lowers the risk for mental and physical health issues.
Make A Move, created in July 2022, is a community service initiative whose goal is to get Mississippi on its feet and moving again so we can tackle the mental and physical health issues plaguing our state. By sharing health and fitness tips, creating monthly fitness challenges, engaging with students through the Make A Move school program, and meeting with state legislators, Make A Move strives to reestablish the importance of a healthy lifestyle through meaningful movement.

"When I was stuck in bed, unable to walk due to injury, my mental health was tested and tried. Movement is something my body thrives on and it is something that makes me feel good. Making time to prioritize exercise and meaningful movement has changed my life." -Anonymous
