“We invite everyone of all ages to come out on Valley City\u2019s shared use paths to walk, bike, run, jog or skateboard on Saturday, Sept. 12! Exercise is like medicine\u2026FREE medicine!” states Sharon Buhr, Barnes ON THE MOVE Partnership chair. Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce the risks of developing many types of chronic disease such as hypertension, stroke, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and many forms of cancer.<\/p>\n

The Barnes ON THE MOVE (OTM) Partnership is excited to announce they have received $3000 in grant funds from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND) Rural “Official Sponsor of Recess” Program to sponsor the Let\u2019s Walk Valley City event.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the BCBSND Official Sponsor of Recess Grant Program is to serve and show benefit to rural North Dakotans and their health needs, and raise awareness for the need for all ages to engage in more daily, physical activity and overall wellness.<\/p>\n
