Bedford teacher exemplifies rewards

Friday, February 3, 2012

BEDFORD – Friend Your Body’s Winter 2012 Transformation Challenge for Women brings together a team of New Hampshire health-minded businesses to motivate participants on a 12-week journey to re-invigorate their minds and bodies.

Bedford resident and teacher Jen Dickson, 41, is a testament to the program, according to Friend Your Body, after she lost 8 percent of her body fat and dropped four dress sizes by participating in the 12-week course on health education and empowerment.

“Jen is a role model and inspiration to other women,” said Melissa Koerner, owner of Friend Your Body. “Despite the many hardships she has faced in her life, when she could’ve easily thrown in the towel and given up on herself, Jen decided to take control of her life and transform her health.”

Earthtec, the Republic Cafe, Derek Russell’s Art Studio, Debbie Ellis Photography and Friend Your Body are joining forces to reward women participating in the Winter 2012 Transformation Challenge with more than $1,000 in prizes for their health improvement efforts.
