Jim (46), Lisa (45), Sam (17), Joey (11) and of course, Rocky (5), their crazy,
wire-haired Fox Terrier took the pledge on July 2, 2007. The Kelly's love being
physically active and they are always looking for ways to live happier, healthier
lives.
Jim — a 13-year survivor of kidney cancer — is a proponent of eating
lots of healthy fruits and vegetables, which have been proven to lower the risk
of cancer and other diseases. Together, he and Lisa try to teach Sam and Joey the
importance of healthy eating habits and plenty of activity and exercise.
Jim and Lisa want to find the right mix to make sustainable changes in their family's
diet. The family is very aware of the benefits of healthy eating. One of those benefits
is eating plenty of fruits of vegetables so the risk of certain cancers and other
diseases are lowered. They try to incorporate the pledge in their daily lives by
adding fruit to breakfast and having well-balanced dinners.
Jim runs 6 days a week and does weight training for four of them, as well as practices
martial arts several days a week. Lisa runs three days a week and walks several
days as well. She also takes an aerobics class occasionally. Sam plays pick up soccer
three nights a week and does football condition 3 days a week. Joey loves basketball
and flag football. The family enjoys biking together on vacations and taking Rocky
for evening walks together.
