(NYS: LTM) - The Healthy Way of Life Company. January 1, 2013, marked the inaugural Commitment Day 5K event.

Commitment Day participants were encouraged to raise funds the Commitment Day Founding Charity Partner of their choice, including Special Olympics, MusiCares, Folds of Honor, Augie's Quest - MDA and the Life Time Foundation.

Supporting the launch of the movement were Founding Corporate Partners Best Buy, Blue365, Hosting, Intereum, Interline Brands, Japs-Olson, Life Fitness, Loffler, Matrix, SNAP, SPRI, Staples, Whole Foods and Woodway.
