America On The Move Week at the Rye YMCA 2007

Gregg Howells, Rye YMCA Executive Director and George Latimer, NYS Assemblyman, walk around the Rye Green on September 24 to kickoff America On The Move Week at the Rye YMCA. The Rye YMCA asked community members to help reach its goal of over 49 million steps in one week.

Over 2300 community members contributed their steps to the Rye Y goal. Participants were encouraged to log as many steps as possible during the week by using a pedometer and converting daily activities into steps.

The Dance, Dance Revolution Marathon was a big hit!
Participants added their steps to the Rye Y total & received free jumpropes.
Several other events were held throughout the week at the Y, including daily walks, a swim marathon, a Senior Exercise event, and a parent nutrition workshop.
