BEFORE I could help make my
community strong, I needed to
help my neighbors become
fit and healthy.

 

I’m Mark, from Hilliard.

I own a health care consulting firm.  My business, which is also my passion, is dedicated to the improvement of health through prevention and wellness.  I’m a member of several boards dedicated to health and wellness, including United Way’s Health Impact Council and Nutrition & Fitness Results Committee.

Our health care system has many gaps, so i want to make sure that my community makes investments in programs that help people stay healthy.  I support programs that help fill these gaps and programs that help keep my neighbors fit and strong.  That’s how I LIVE UNITED.

 

 

AFTER I play sports and work out, I feel strong and healthy.

 

I’m Tea, from Urbancrest.

I spend a lot of time at my local YMCA because there are so many fun things to do there, and it’s a safe place to go. I love being active and participating in sports like softball, basketball and soccer. I get to do all these things and a lot more when I go to the YMCA’s after-school program.

I even go with my grandfather a lot to work out at the Y. My favorite thing to do in the fitness facility is the bicycle. I know that exercise is important because it helps keep my grandfather healthy. I want to stay strong and healthy for the rest of my life, too.
