annually from March 1 — 31 and encourages individuals within and beyond Palm Beach County to take charge

WHEREAS, The Let's Move initiative was originally introduced on a national level, by First Lady Michelle
Obama in 2010, with the goal of decreasing childhood obesity throughout the United States due to the fact that
nearly one in three children in the United States are overweight or obese and if this problem persists, 1/3 of all
children born in 2000 or later will suffer from diabetes at some point in their lives, or will face other obesity -
related health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma and cancer; and

by forming teams, registering online, committing to exercising for at least 30 minutes a day throughout the
month of March, and logging their minutes on the Let's Move website, www.letsmovePBC.org. In 2012, Palm
Beach County logged 100,000 minutes in the first year of the challenge and we have met the challenge each
year since, rising in 2023 to over 100 million minutes logged!
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Susan Bickel, Mayor of the Village of North Palm Beach, do hereby proclaim the
month of March, as:
