Rebalanced-Life Wellness AssociationSign up for the 2013 Soul Stroll - get more information. Aaron G. Perry, the worlds 1st African-American diabetic to finish the Ironman Triathlon, established the Rebalanced-Life Wellness Association in 2007, and he chairs the newly established Dane County African American Health Advisory Committee (DCAAHAC) with overarching goals to strengthen and enhance the current culture of health among African-Americans living with Diabetes and other health conditions. Mr. Perry understands that bringing together dedicated community health educators, advocates and practitioners enhances efforts to help prevent premature deaths from inactivity and poor nutrition. He embraces this challenge as he did with competing in the Ironman Triathlon. Considered the world’s most difficult endurance event, the Ironman like Diabetes, offers forgiveness to no one. |

The RLWA was established with a strong focus that engages key areas of Diabetes Education, Support, Nutrition and Exercise. With the addition of the (DCAAHAC), we are positioned to offer a systematic and strategic course of events to help reduce health disparities and shift the focus towards Active Living and Improve Diabetes Self-Management. |

With health disparities escalating at an alarming rate among African-Americans, our association acknowledges that we have reached a critical point that requires aggressive intervention. With the support from community partners, our established community initiatives will aggressively improve the culture of wellness for African-Americans and other ethnic minorities. |
