That’s what the CDC is saying. In fact, the updated figures are triple the estimates the CDC issued just last week.
According to the new numbers, about 4,000 Americans, including 540 children, have died of H1N1 flu, and 22 million people have been infected since April, when the novel flu virus first surfaced. Contrary to initial impressions, health officials insist the increase does not mean that the disease has suddenly become more deadly or severe.

I'm helping the Leukemia Society through the School and Youth program. This program is called "Pennies for Patients".

What do you hear when you walk around your neighborhood? Where did all the squealing kids go? Apparently, they’re inside playing video games and surfing the net. Experts say this is contributing to a generation less active, overweight kids that are headed to a life of heart disease.
Childhood obesity experts say more American young people are becoming obese because so many are addicted to television, video games, texting and fast food.

High Caliber Athletics encourages youth to get involved in outdoor activities. Our hope is that it will install team work , courage and most of all self esteem in the children we help. we provide equipment to teams, and individuals who lack funding so that the less fortunate have the same opportunities as everyone else. Our goal is to make kids healthy, active and involved in the community. We feel by getting our youth involved at an early age we will keep them involved as adults in the community. Every penny donated or raised is spent directly on these children.

SWB provides soccer and life-skills programming to socially, politically and economically marginalized youth who are systematically excluded from sports-based and extracurricular activities, with a focus on three populations: Indigenous People, Refugees and Girls.
Indigenous groups are socially isolated, lack political representation and are the most economically disadvantaged of many societies throughout the world.
