  Gov. Sanford; Republican and Democrat Candidates to be invited to First Family’s May Bike Ride, 5K Walk web posted March 26, 2007 COLUMBIA SC – Gov. Mark Sanford today announced plans to invite Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, their spouses and their families to his and First Lady Jenny Sanford's May bike ride and a 5k walk as part of their 2007 Family Fitness Challenge. "Fitness and healthy living are not partisan issues, and when you look at the numbers, as a nation and a state far too many of us don't eat the right things and don't get enough exercise," Gov. Sanford said. "Over the coming months, South Carolina is going to be at the center of the political universe, and I think that while the nation's eyes are turned our way it provides us an incredibly important opportunity for getting the word out about the need for healthier lifestyles." The Family Fitness Challenge is an initiative aimed at improving the health of South Carolinians through encouraging healthier decisions in their day-to-day lives. This year's events will take place on Saturday, May 5, with the bike ride beginning in Aiken and ending approximately 70 miles later in Estill. As part of the event, Mrs. Sanford will lead a 5k walk in Aiken. Future logistical details of the Family Fitness Challenge - including start points, end points and rest stops - will be posted on Gov. Sanford's website, www.scgovernor.com, in coming weeks. The Family Fitness Challenge is part of a larger initiative, the Healthy SC Challenge, a results-oriented initiative aimed at motivating South Carolinians to start making choices to improve health and well-being. Stay tuned for additional details from the Governor's Office regarding the Family Fitness Challenge. For additional information please call 803-734-2100, or e-mail familyfitness@gov.sc.gov. For
