Aerobics Flash Mobs Energize Colorado
Seemingly spontaneous aerobics astounded lunch-goers across Colorado on Wednesday, September 30, when flash mobs broke out at 12:10 p.m. on the streets of Denver, Greeley and Grand Junction. More than 100 flash mobbers exercised their enthusiasm for healthy eating and active living in each city when they suddenly disrobed to display retro, 1980’s-inspired workout gear and performed a coordinated aerobics routine. LiveWell Colorado (http://www.livewellcolorado.org), a non-profit organization committed to reducing obesity by inspiring healthy eating and active living, coordinated the flash mobs to ignite enthusiasm for the launch of its statewide “Challenge,” campaign which encourages Coloradoans to challenge each other and their communities to live well.

Pim Van Hemmen, co-founder of Do1Thing.org, talks about how photographers, writers and editors can positively affect the lives of some of the thousands of teenagers who will age out of foster care and become homeless this year. He bases these views on his experience with the Heart Gallery project, which he also co-founded with Najlah Feanny Hicks. A native of the Netherlands, Hemmen spent 10 years covering sports, features and worldwide news events for The Star-Ledger in Newark, New Jersey. He then created and ran an all-digital photo department at the newspaper, which won the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography in 2001, the newspaper’s first Pulitzer. He is a former New Jersey Press Photographer of the Year and co-editor of three books.

DENVER: Boundless Promise of Love
Judy DeHaas, a photojournalist at the Rocky Mountain News, documented the lives of a young couple for Do1Thing.org. Michael Cunningham, 20, and his girlfriend Lea Hallaway, 18, have been together for about a year. They stay from time to time at Urban Peak, a shelter for homeless youth in Denver. Being homeless is difficult for the pair, but they strive to stay together and support each other. Michael was taken from his alcoholic father when he was three-years-old and placed in at least 42 foster homes by the time he was emancipated in February 2008. His mother disappeared when he was around 3. After leaving foster care, he was unable to hold down a job and wound up on the streets. His last foster home was with Lea's aunt, where the couple met. Lea's mother, a crack addict died when she was 6, and she was taken into the system at 2. After living in a series of foster homes, she was adopted, but Lea started to run away when she turned 13 and was asked to move out by the time she was 16. The couple has slept on friend's couches, in shelters and in cheap motels while trying to get a grip on their lives and stabilize, something neither of them learned from their parents or their brief stays in foster homes. Produced by Judy DeHaas for the Do1Thing Project http://do1thing.org
