The MyStart! Online Community encourages walkers to connect with others - whether from the neighborhood or on the other side of the country - to stay on track with a walking program. "For some time, research has indicated that individuals are far more likely to stick with an exercise regimen if someone else is counting on them," said Timothy Gardner, M.D., president of the American Heart Association, alluding to a recent survey that revealed American adults are 76 percent more likely to walk if someone else is counting on them.

American Association for Cancer Research Aims to Raise Awareness about the Importance of Clinical Trial Participation. Most Americans with cancer would be receptive to participating in clinical trials if they knew about them. In a survey of 6,000 cancer patients, 85 percent were either unaware or unsure that participation in a clinical trial was an option. Seventy-five percent said they would have been willing to enroll had they known it was possible. This lack of knowledge is leading to a crisis in cancer drug development with 80 percent of clinical trials in the U.S. being delayed because of unfulfilled enrollmentii.
