50 Million Pound Challenge

I am sure that all of you have heard of The 50 Million Pounds Challenge spearheaded by Dr. Ian Smith and sponsored by State Farm Insurance. "Dr. Ian" as he is affectionately called, has given us a challenge. His challenge is not only about losing weight, it's about living a healthier lifestyle. It is very important for us to take the time to improve and then maintain our health. The challenge covers different areas including weight loss, a healthy diet, and exercise.

For more information, you can download this brochure or visit the 50 Million Pounds website. To get a free challenge kit, contact a State Farm Agent.
