The White House WASHINGTON May 12, 2010

Dear Dr. Fuller,             Thank you for offering to help the First Lady in the fight against childhood obesity.  We will enlist the help of a variety of people from across the country in the months and years ahead, and we are excited by the groundswell of support we have received on this issue.             As you know, the First Lady is leading an initiative called Let’s Move! That centers around an ambitious national goal of solving the challenge of childhood obesity within a generation, so that children born today will reach adulthood at a healthy weight.  Let’s Move! will engage every sector impacting the health of children to achieve this national goal, and will provide schools, families, and communities simple tools to help kids be more active, eat better, and get healthy.  This initiative is comprehensive, collaborative, and community-oriented, and it will specifically address the various factors that lead to childhood obesity by helping parents make healthier choices for their families, providing healthier food in schools, increasing physical activity, and improving access to affordable food in all communities.             Please join us online at www.LetsMove.gov, where you can stay updated on news and connect with our efforts.  Mrs. Obama believes that people like you, Dr. Fuller, are vital to our success on this issue, and she urges you to stay active and continue to lead efforts to improve the health of children and adults in your community and on your blog.             Thank you again for your invitation.  The First Lady greatly values the important work you are doing, and she wishes you continued success with your efforts. Sincerely, Jocelyn Frye Director of Policy and Projects Office of the First Lady
