Jim (46), Lisa (45), Sam (17) and Joey (11).
And of course, there is Rocky (5), their crazy, wire-haired Fox Terrier. Jim is also a proud member of the
Del Monte Foods family. He's a compensation manager out of the Pittsburgh office.

The Kelly's love being physically active and they are always looking for ways to live happier, healthier lives. Sam is an A-student and an athlete. Jim runs and lifts weights every day. Lisa likes to walk and hike with friends and Joey loves basketball and flag football. The family enjoys biking together on vacations and taking Rocky for evening walks together.

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.

With cancer, hypertension and high cholesterol in our family history we have tried to
add more fruits, vegetables and fish to our diet. - Jim KELLY

In the coming weeks, more families will join in the pledge to get healthy. Come back soon because the Kelly family and other featured families will be documenting their progress through journal entries and videos filled with tips and advice that you can learn from.

The JUST ONE MORE™ Family Study sets out to demonstrate that following the pledge will contribute to the improvement of health and quality of life. JUST ONE MORE™ will follow 40 families in Pittsburgh, PA, who have signed up for the pledge, to show that making small changes in their eating habits will impact their overall health.

On August 20, 2007 you'll be able to follow these 40 families as we document their journey to get healthier.
