My good friend, business colleague, and student, Rick Abrams is quite literally walking proof of the effectiveness of mind-body techniques in the fight against cancer and countless other health issues. Rick's positive attitude and commitment to a healthy lifestyle is something that everyone, especially adults, should have in this day and age.

But even better than being an example of healthy living, Rick has also organized ACROSS Lexington to improve the wellness of his whole community. Check out the article here about Rick's story and his walking activities in Lexington.

And after you are done reading that article, think about ways that you can be more active, or engage more of your community to be active. The future of our health lies in a culture of health. The first steps to improving health and health care in America are the ones right outside your own front door.
