St. Christopher Truckers Fund was recently contacted  about being a part of an article featuring our Driven to Be Healthy Challenge. Beth Geracy, with Drive My Way, reached out to us to learn more about the health challenge that ended in February.  She hopes to inspire others to become  motivated to eat better, exercise more often and live a healthier lifestyle.

Below is an excerpt from the article:

Driven to Be Healthy Challenge
This six-month contest launched at GATS 2015. It put people with CDL trucking jobs to the test from August 27-February 29. During that time, drivers strove to eat healthier, lose weight and exercise more for a shot at cool prizes, including a grand prize Las Vegas getaway and a fishing trip to Minnesota. The top two winners will be announced at MATS this April. While the contest is over, the Driven to Be Healthy Challenge Facebook page is as focused as ever on keeping truck drivers healthy and motivated through recipe sharing, inspirational words and exercise. “If we made the difference in the life of one driver and he’s healthier and gets to live longer because of it, then it was worth it,” says the challenge’s organizer, Julie Dillon. “Because that’s our goal. We want to see them be healthier and live longer and enjoy their families.” Until the next challenge, the Driven to be Healthy Challenge page will encourage truck drivers to take small steps toward big results over time. 
Health Tip: Commitment is continuing to push yourself when no one else is around! The days that are the hardest are the days that produce the most results.
