Healthcare for All Exercise-Athon

Team Excelsior is excited to announce our Exercise-A-Thon - a project to support Healthcare for All in Minnesota! We Have The Momentum to Increase Healthcare Equity Now! We are kicking off our summer with personalized exercise plans and a mission to share information and support Healthcare for All Minnesota (HCAMN). Team Excelsior is one of 6 teams across the state participating in this project.

Excelsior Team community members include Jennifer Brady-Johnson, Rhoda Brooks, Jackie Colby, Susan Dragsten, Kay Erickson, Vicki Franzen, Marlys Gapstur Sand, Sue Kanter, and Marit Solheim-Witt, and Beth Zukowski. We invite you to support us! From May 15 through June 12, we are raising awareness about current initiatives and viable healthcare equity programs we that could be implemented NOW with legislative support. Also, ask us about our personal goals for this month to improve our own health!

In the tradition of walk-a-thons, HCAMN tested the exercise-a-thon model last fall as a potential fundraising tool. "It was a great way to do peer-to-peer fundraising," says Carol Englhart, lead organizer for the event. "Not only did it give people a reason to ask their friends and family to support the work we are doing to build a Minnesota health care plan, it also prompts them to think about their own health."

Health Care for All Minnesota is dedicated to promoting affordable high-quality healthcare for every Minnesotan through advocacy, education and community organizing. The nonprofit hosts monthly education sessions across Minnesota and works with legislators and other organizations to build consensus around a health care model that centers the needs of individuals.
