On August 25, 2005, former Mayor Bart Peterson issued a challenge to Indianapolis-area residents, particularly students, to "make a healthy move." But the Mayor did more than issue the challenge - he led it. Along with hundreds of youth, Mayor Peterson participated in many monthly FitCity Challenges and highlighted many of the city's free and low-cost fitness and after-school programs.
