New York City has more active Challenge participants than any other city or town in the nation. And, after this weekend, they have even more!
We had a remarkable and different experience in NYC than in other areas. This stop was different because we didn’t host a full-blown Challenge event; and remarkable because awareness of The Challenge spread throughout “the greatest city in the world”.
We had an excellent time joining and encouraging the Circle of Sisters, Abyssinian Baptist Church and the Central Harlem Health Revival in their efforts to help the people of NYC make healthier decisions.
Steve Harvey, Shirley Strawberry, Freddie Jackson and Biz Markie joined Dr. Ian in bringing the life altering message of The Challenge to the Circle of Sisters. Councilman Comrie shared a compelling personal story highlighting why he taking The Challenge seriously. As a matter of fact, he created and is leading a Challenge Team for citizens under his provision to make healthy lifestyle decisions throughout Queens.
The Challenge also joined up with the 2nd annual Central Harlem Health Revival to raise awareness and take action for healthier lifestyles in the heart of Black America—Harlem, NY.
Keep up the fight NYC and thank you for a fantastic weekend!
