Why am I taking part

I've always had an interest in health and wellness and in recent years the amount of time sitting in the office or when commuting has been of concern with the recent research highlighting some of the impacts. Chronic disease has huge impacts on not only those suffering with it, but their families and the health system. These are burdens that can be avoided through good nutrition and movement based lifestyles. This is a great event to highlight the benefits of movement and the risks of sedentary behaviour while supporting the wonderful work of the Beacon Foundation and all that it achieves.
