What a pleasure it was
to join you and the other members of the panel at the Senate HELP Committee Hearing last week.
You were a wonderful witness and a powerful advocate for fitness, exercise and a wellness approach to life.
Most importantly,
I’m flapping my wings
like a butterfly everyday thanks to you!

Your talk was outstanding.  In my talks I am always saying we need to make exercise a habit, like brushing your teeth, but from now on will change that to make it something we love and look forward to, like recess!
I had never thought about how exciting recess was as a kid, but that memory came right back to me when you described it
in your talk
