Mothers are a powerful ally in the fight against childhood obesity and we recognize the vital role women play in the health and wellness of American families. Mothers supporting mothers are an unstoppable force. When mom’s work together and support each other they are 5 times more likely to make positive healthy changes and stick to them for over a year. Bringing mother’s together from main street America and gleaning from their wisdom and insight is a positive addition to the initiatives already in place. This conference will produce materials to encourage all women and mothers to take a leadership role and create support networks where they live. This petition is sponsored by the non-profit organization Your Turn: Women Supporting Women for Health and Wellness.
