Girls Web site

Each year, more young people are going online for information and
entertainment. In response, the National Bone Health Campaign created this
Web site as a fun, interactive way to show girls why calcium and
weight-bearing physical activities can build strong bones and how these
fit easily into a girl's busy lifestyle.
