Proposal for the Gaming project - "Sailing Towards Health", Sailboat Video Game

The epidemic of childhood obesity shows no signs of slowing down. On the contrary, it is progressing at an ever increasing rate. If permitted to continue at current levels, the consequences could be enormous in terms of mortality and morbidity and a substantive deterioration in our children’s quality of life.A new approach is needed… an approach that takes advantage of a child’s natural instinct to “play” and his inherent enthusiasm for doing things that are “fun”. Computer games meet all of these requirements, and Dr. Richard Visser, an eminent authority on the subject of childhood obesity, has developed just such a game, “Sailing Toward Health”, which is designed to effectively counter this epidemic.

He is now requesting funding to finance the development and testing of his unique computer game and to implement its widespread distribution.
