Let's Move! is a comprehensive initiative, launched by First Lady Michelle Obama, dedicated to solving the problem of childhood obesity within a generation so that kids born today will grow up healthier and able to pursue their dreams. This is an ambitious goal, but it can be done. The President's Council supports Let's Move! through outreach, events, and partnerships.
