I think the We Can program is exciting because it really engages the entire family. It's not just directed at the parents, it's not just directed at the kids - it's really directed towards the entire family in realizing that everybody plays a role in making sure that these kids lives are healthier.
The program focuses on making sure the kids are eating the proper food, making sure they're getting more exercise than they are getting, and of course reducing the amount of video game/TV watching/computer usage that they're doing. I think if we get a grasp on those three things, we're going to be a lot better off.
I think it's also pretty exciting being able to team up with such a positive government agency as the NIH... I think we're really going to do some good and have an amazing reach...really get our message out to so many more kids and so many more families by doing this.
