Mariel Hemingway Encourages Health and Family Focused Bloggers in Chicago

What does a Hollywood actress who could "have it all" say about the good life?  Mariel Hemingway says she embraces the simple things and suggests those simple things could help improve life for everyone. The actress, author and fitness enthusiast has been inspiring bloggers gathered in Chicago who are focused on healthy families.

Hemingway was the special guest speaker for an event hosted by Healthy Child, Healthy World and the Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families coalition.  Together, these organizations and bloggers connect to millions of people across the country.  Both groups educate about the latest in health and environmental science research, advocating for better consumer protections from chemicals in everyday products.

Hemingway's new website and book titled Running with Nature  feature a collection of fitness inspirations in partnership with eco-adventurer Bobby Williams.  She encouraged bloggers to continue sharing messages about protecting our families from toxic chemicals and other ways to promote healthy lifestyles.  "That's what I'd like to think that I do, is to speak passionately about living a healthy existence."

Hemingway was down-to-earth and approachable as she chatted with bloggers about common interests in health and well-being.  She was even gracious to take time for photos.
