"Let's Move" hopes to encourage children to eat a healthy diet and excercise at least 60 minutes a day.

Harel Levy announced his retirement from professional tennis at the age of 32.
Levy was ranked as high as No. 30 in June 2001 at the ATP Tour rankings, but suffered a hip injury that summer and his game plunged. He was a key component of Israel's Davis Cup team.
"I had the honor to be ranked among the top players in the world and experienced amazing things that were only cut abruptly by my injury," he said.
