~ The National Fitness Campaign (NFC) is making strides towards creating healthier communities and schools across America. This organization works closely with municipalities, schools, and sponsors to plan, design, fund, and activate outdoor Fitness Courts. Their ultimate goal is to have 5,000 of these courts within a 10-minute bike ride of every American by the year 2030.
But NFC's efforts go beyond just building Fitness Courts. They also partner with local artists and creatives to ensure that each space reflects and celebrates the unique history, pride, and vibrancy of the community it serves.
Recently, the City Council adopted a resolution in support of NFC's mission. The resolution highlights data from the Boston Public Health Commission that shows neighborhoods like Roxbury have higher rates of heart disease, asthma, diabetes, and lower life expectancies. This underscores the urgent need for accessible health and wellness spaces in low-income communities.
