The Blue Zones Project

The City of Davenport needs YOUR help!  Davenport is in a contest to become a Blue Zone. If Davenport wins, the entire Quad Cities wins because  Davenport is going to use the benefits of the Blue Zone for all the surrounding cities!

Blue Zones are geographically defined areas around the world where people live longer, better, and reach the age of 100 at rates 10 times greater than in the United States.

I’m very excited about the potential outcome this could have on our community! If Davenport wins, we’ll get state and possibly national exposure showcasing the health of our community. Consultants and resources will be provided to improve the health of the Quad Cities. We’ll all have the opportunity to live longer and healthier lives. We’ll be taught powerful habits adopted from the world’s longest-living people. It’s as easy as small, simple, enjoyable changes like joining a walking group or growing a garden. The Quad Cities will be a better place to live, work, and play in a number of ways. Isn’t that what we want for our children’s future?

Out of the 400,000 people living in the Quad Cities, Davenport is in LAST place! Let’s help them win!

All you have to do is text BZP to 772937. It will ask for your name, email, and a Davenport zip code.

About Camye

Hello! I’m Camye. I’m a small town Iowa girl who runs Quad City Moms Blog, a site designed to support, encourage, and connect moms in this adventure called motherhood. (You are not alone!) I have transitioned from early childhood teacher to stay-at-home mom to work-at-home mom. I have an artsy, creative husband and three rambunctious children- especially the 1-year-old! Balancing family, life, and blogosphere is a daily challenge. I love making to-do lists and checking things off, searching for the world’s best chocolate-chip cookie recipe, and tackling DIY projects. When the kids are finally in bed, you’ll find me curled up on the couch watching prime time with a computer on my lap.
