Let's be clear: financial stress is a killer. It has wreaked havoc on our neighbors and our community by making people physically and mentally sick. On top of ulcers and heart conditions, financial stress can also cause mental illness, especially when debt is involved. In fact, mental illness is three times more likely to occur when an individual is in debt.

The question is - what are we going to do about it? I for one am going to Move for the Change I Want to See in the World April 28th-May 31st- and you can join me in three simple ways: Be Active. Be Generous. Be Well

Be Active: I'll be walking, running, playing, tennis, and riding my bike every day during the campaign - come join me! You will also find me at the 4 fitness inspired events organized by mpowered during this campaign!

Be Generous: I'm donating my time and money to this cause and I want you to do the same. Every dollar supports mpowered's amazing financial coaches who deal with individuals and families experiencing financial stress every day. Donate today and/or start your own fundraising page
