Men’s Health Awareness Walk/Run

June 1, 2019 @ 8:00 am

Join us Saturday, June 1, 2019 at 8 AM at Robins Field in Tupelo. This is a family affair that raises awareness about the importance of men’s health. We will have testimonials from men in the community about their experiences and how they are now getting regular checkups. Personal trainer and fitness experts Devonte Senter, Snap Fitness and Adam Holt, ELEV8 Fitness, Vence McNairy, PEDAL LIFE TUPELO, youth sports leagues Lee County Bears Youth Football & Cheer, Memphis Thunder Basketball and Real Men Stand Up will all share insight. Dr. Dantwan Smith and Bridgette Hereford Allen, BSN will be health care providers. We will also do wellness checks of blood pressure and blood sugar onsite. Tupelo Police and Fire Departments will be there as well! This is a FREE event!

June is the time to celebrate the men in our lives. During June we want to draw attention to the preventable health problems men face and encourage action – behavior changes, early detection and screening, and treatment.

The men in our lives play many roles. They are fathers, brothers, neighbors, coworkers, teammates, coaches, mentors, and the list goes on and on. They often take responsibilities within each of these roles very seriously. However, we need to encourage them to take their own health seriously too. Their health must be a priority.

Moms, bring the kids and the dads for a day of family fun!
