In 1993, I started ACES in my home town and had about 10 Schools participate.
In 1994, after an article in our national fitness instructor magazine, we had about 25 Schools from all over the Country participate.
In 1995, I teamed up with the Diabetes Association to promote it nationally and we conducted ACES as an awareness for Diabetes gained sponsorship and added a $1 donation to diabetes research. We received National News TV coverage plus numerous Radio and press. That year we had 170,000 children throughout Australia participate in ACES.
Since 1996, schools have participated and organized ACES on their own. Len, congratulations on the work you have done with ACES. I have been proud to promote it here in Australia.
