Description:
The AHA 2017 Spring into Wellness Challenge is a 6-week event running from Monday, February 27 through Friday, April 14. This is a team challenge, so the goal is to accumulate as many points as YOU can within the 47 day timeframe. One team has one less person
than other teams, so points will still be allocated to each participant, but the team scores will be calculated by working out the average score per participant. There will be opportunities throughout the challenge to earn bonus points, so be on the lookout
for more information surrounding these. Members of the winning team will receive a prize at the end of the challenge.
