I feel it is very important to start educating our youth about the results of a poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking. Obesity is becoming a health epidemic affecting thousands of American children. This epidemic will not only result in cardiovascular diseases for them as they grow older but will also put a bigger strain on America’s healthcare costs in the future. If we educate our children on how to create a regimen for a healthy heart, we will begin to establish lifestyle habits that they can carry into their adult years and pass on to their children.

I have completed a children’s book about two bunnies named Herb and Hope. Herb and Hope are on a quest to find the “keys” to having a healthy heart. I am currently working out the publication details, so come back and find out how you can order this fun adventure! When available to the public, I do hope you will purchase a book for someone you love to get them started on their quest for a healthy heart. All proceeds will benefit charitable organizations. My goal is to make the book available in every elementary school library in Alabama.
