The 2nd Annual Family Fitness Challenge was an initiative aimed at improving the health of South Carolinians through encouraging healthier decisions in their day-to-day lives. The 2005 bike ride took place on Sunday, October 9th, beginning in Aiken and ending in Columbia. The governor participated in several events in 2005 as part of the Challenge, including the Orangeburg March of Dimes WalkAmerica event, and a canoe trip through Sparkleberry Swamp.
“Jenny and I believe simply that making healthier choices is key to advancing quality of life in our state, whether it’s exercising more, eating the right things or generally looking after our health better,” Gov. Sanford said. “We have a long way to go in improving our state’s overall health picture, but the good news is we can start today with some simple solutions that will have a material impact on how we look and feel as a state.”
