Fran McEwen has an idea that she thinks can help change the world. So she’s come halfway around the world to get a little help.
McEwen is from Wellington, New Zealand, a city almost 7,500 miles away from San Antonio. She works for the Wellington City Council, where she created an initiative called Shift to increase the physical activity and wellbeing of women in Wellington ages 12 to 20.
McEwen said the number of women who are physically active in New Zealand is declining, and a lack of physical activity can also affect their wellbeing, self-esteem and sense of achievement.
