Heathy Heartland

I am a participant in the dietary intervention group of the WHI. I was excited to join this research study because I am an educational researcher. My family members are aware of my commitment to a healthy, low-fat diet since joining WHI. I encourage them to make positive changes in their lives through diet and exercise. I keep active through daily weight lifting, kayaking and golfing. When I learned about the WHI quilt, I asked my daughter to help me design and make a square. We chose fabrics that included fruits and vegetables and put them together with stars. My daughter cut and stitched the final square. I am in WHI in hopes of a better future form my daughter and all grand-daughters who may follow.
