Len Saunders, award winning author, motivational speaker in the fight against childhood obesity, and nationally recognized for his innovative wellness events in the field of children’s health, fitness, and wellness for almost 30 years, featured a Q&A with Sha on his blog about who inspired her to live a healthy lifestyle. Check it out here:
Len Saunders is one of the most inspirational advocates for children’s health initiatives we have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and he has won awards at the local, state, and national levels for all his efforts to reduce childhood obesity. He has been a guest speaker at universities, as well as state and national conventions. In the late 1980’s, Len served as a consultant to President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition. Most recently, he became an American Heart Association expert spokesperson on the issue of childhood obesity.
Len’s contribution to children’s health has literally reached millions of children and their parents worldwide. He has contributed articles to fitness magazines, publishing companies, educational magazines, and major internet blogs. He has also written and consulted with Sports Illustrated For Kids magazine. Some of Len’s articles have been used for nationally syndicated television shows on ABC-TV. Len is frequently sought after for quotes from television and print media outlets. Sports Illustrated has called Len “high spirited”, while a quote from Ladies Home Journal says, “No one is more committed to building stronger kids than Lenny Saunders.” Len is also an accomplished author of five books, with his most recent, ‘Keeping Kids Fit’ released in 2010.
Thanks, Len, for all you do to enhance the children’s well-being!
