When asked about her motivation for developing the 5K initiative, council member Wanda Wallace stated, “About 6 years ago, I battled with a heart condition and I learned I needed to exercise more and eat healthier… as a public figure I wanted to serve as an example of healthy living and promote health & fitness.” Council member Wallace says her objectives for the 5K initiative are community involvement, health education, and to increase the dialogue with local & state government to help combat obesity.
