NSTAR'S Walk For Children's Hospital Boston

This past Sunday, I participated in NSTAR's Walk for Children's Hospital Boston. I joined thousands of other walkers in supporting Children's Hospital Boston's patient care, pediatric research and community health programs. I met so many great people, including doctors and nurses, who had worked at Children's Hospital Boston for many years. Additionally, I met Miss Commonwealth 2011 Amanda Narciso at the event. I also met Miss Massachusetts Teen Belleza Latina 2011 Griselle Gonzalez and Miss Caribbean Belleza Latina 2011 Angelica Flores. It was great to see such interest in the health and well-being of our children. I loved talking to some of the children and families about healthy eating and exercise. Some parents even told me that they were going to change their daily routine in order to encourage a more healthy lifestyle for their children. I suggested such things as closing all kitchen lights after dinner and taking a family walk around the neighborhood. I encouraged these parents to speak to their neighbors and friends about their lifestyle changes and encourage them to also make changes. Finally, I would like to thank all the staff, families and volunteers, who came out to support Children's Hospital Boston. As Children's Hospital Boston is one of the nation's leading hospitals in pediatric specialties, everyone's involvement truly makes a difference!
