CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – New Hampshire’s first lady went for a walk and the feds are sending the state a grant – all to help fight childhood obesity.

Dr. Susan Lynch headed to Lancaster and Berlin on Tuesday to walk with school kids as part of a program called Walk NH. It’s designed to show children aged six to 12 how to have fun getting in shape. Kids pledge to walk the equivalent of the length or width of New Hampshire, adding up miles as they walk to school, hike or just stroll around their neighborhoods.

Meanwhile, the federal government is sending the state $340,000 to start an anti-obesity project in its program for pregnant women and pre-schoolers.

New Hampshire was among five states chosen for the project.
