Montefiore Medical Center is sponsoring a two-mile Run/Walk on Thursday, Oct. 21, from noon to 2 p.m. at Williamsbridge Oval Park. The event aims to raise awareness and encourage the local community to make the commitment to be physically active since this is one of the best ways to prevent and combat obesity. A suggested $10 donation will benefit B’N Fit, a Montefiore program that teaches teens how to adopt healthy, physically active lifestyles. Registration is available online at giving.montefiore.org/ptwalk or participants can register at the day of the event. For more information, call Thea Katrina Rigor at (718) 920-2287.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
