Background
In 2005, the American
Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation created the
Alliance for a Healthier Generation. The mission of the Alliance is
to eliminate childhood obesity and to inspire all young people in
the United States to develop lifelong, healthy habits. In order to
engage kids across America, the Alliance partnered with Nickelodeon
to create the “Let’s Just Play Go Healthy Challenge” in 2006. As
part of the Go Healthy Challenge, four tweenaged kids (12-14 years
old) were selected to be national role models while working to
achieve their health and wellness goals. National audiences
‘followed’ these four kids on Nickelodeon throughout their personal
journeys toward healthier lifestyles.
