ONLY 24% OF KIDS AGED 6-17 GET THE RECOMMENDED 60 MINUTES OF DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY,
a crucial factor for their physical health and mental well-being.
At Hector’s Helping Hand, we’re dedicated to changing this statistic. By fostering youth fitness programs across Chicago, we aim to increase this percentage by 20% over the next three years. Our goal is to engage 5,000 local students through our initiatives, ensuring they receive the physical activity and support needed for lifelong health and well-being.
REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF CHRONIC DISEASES BY 50%
However, over 80% of adults do not meet the recommended guidelines for daily exercise.
Hector’s Helping Hand is committed to reversing this trend. We plan to introduce community-wide fitness programs and workshops, targeting a 15% increase in active participation among adults within the next five years. Our aim is to impact 10,000 residents through accessible fitness activities, improving overall community health and resilience.
