Action Figures

Want to read inspiring stories about women who are making a difference in their world?  (And staying fit doing so?)  Check out Women’s Health online page on Action Figures.  (They also cover one woman in each of their print magazine.)

One of my favorites is Amy Purdy, she lost her legs to bacterial meningitis, but didn’t let that hold her back.  She founded Adaptive Action Sports, a nonprofit that runs training camps for disabled athletes.

Kudos to every woman out there making a difference; if it’s starting an organization to help others, or just keeping your kids active, and bonding with them, by playing tag with them out in the yard.
