Interested in getting healthier, losing weight and/or exercising more?  If so, join us for our first annual Driving to be Healthy Challenge.  This is a 6-month challenge with 2 categories for both monthly and overall winners.  The challenge runs August 27 – February 27 . We will be kicking off the challenge at GATS in August.  The categories are Greatest % of Weight Loss and Most Amount of Time Walking/Running.
 
We are encouraging everyone to have a buddy to sign up along with him/her to offer support and accountability.
 
Prizes include GPSs, FitBits, Fit Steppers, Rolling Strong’s Fit System, and truck refrigerators.  The 2 grand prizewinners will win a 3-day, 2-night trip!  One of the trips is to Las Vegas, where Bob Perry will provide spending money, time with you in the gym, and a trip to the grocery store to learn ways to shop healthily.  The other trip is a fishing trip in Minnesota!
 
Registration opens June 1st.  The challenge kicks off at GATS (you do not have to be present) on August 27th in the Health Pavilion.  Contact Julie Dillon at julie@truckersfund.org to sign up or for more information.

Bob and Linda started their driver careers after their children left home for college in 2000. Bob started as a driver for a large motor carrier with Linda as a rider. They decided to enter the Expedite industry as team drivers in 2005 and purchased their first Freightliner. Both, Bob and Linda have had their Class A licenses since the early 80's starting out driving in the oil field and hauling grain as fill in drivers where Bob worked as a diesel mechanic. Linda worked at the local country courthouse in data processing.
