The Miami Heat Comes to Call; A Fiftieth Birthday
The following blog post was cross-posted from Let's Move!
Last week, the Miami Heat visited the White House to celebrate their 2013 NBA championship win. Rumor had it, during their visit, they teamed up with the First Lady in support of Let’s Move! to highlight the importance of eating healthy and drinking water to perform like a champion.
Catch all the action in the Public Service Announcement they recorded in the Diplomatic Room. And help spread the word about healthy eating by sharing the video with your friends and networks.
And to top it all off:

Celebrated this past week was the 50th birthday of Mrs. Obama. The White House released their 15 Favorite FLOTUS Moments for the birthday, including childhood photos and videos from her time at the White House.
SeniorWomen.com's Editor's Note: Michelle Obama has brought healthy eating, exercise and support for military families to the forefront during her time in the White House. As a mother with two small children when my husband was in Viet Nam in 1967-68, I encountered little support from the local and federal communities during that time and a national figure's encouragement and programs would have been an exceptional gift.
