The Ripple Effect
The phenomenon has been called several things: the "domino effect", the "butterfly effect", "paying it forward". My personal favorite is the ripple effect** which describes a situation where, like the ever expanding ripples across water when a pebble is dropped into it, the effect from an initial state can be followed outwards incrementally.
Fancy description for something we've understood since childhood. It starts with a single small act, can be compounded by similar acts, and once started expands and is virtually unstoppable.
This is what we are finding with the Mayor Cooley's Great Health Challenge. We are already seeing ripple effects into our community of residents, employees, and businesses. And it is compounding with the support from all those involved. Visit 20Tonsin2010.com for an ever expanding list of events, special offers, FREE stuff, and supporting businesses to benefit YOU!
So whether you have a few pounds to shed this year or simply want to lend your support, join us on our ever expanding bandwagon to shrink our once expanding waistbands as we all march towards a healthier and more prosperous future.
