Member Fitness Activities

MAFP members are encourage to be active and serve as role models for their patients. In order to give members the opportunity to team up with other members on fitness activities, the Academy set up a page on the MAFP website for members to list activities that they will be involved with in the coming year. Some of these activities require teams and fundraising. Others are just for fun or have a set fee.

"If we find activities and times that we can join together, we will have a more visible impact, and hopefully, have some fun at the same time," said Dr. Randy Rice, MAFP Immediate Past President.

If you would like to add your fitness activity to the website, please email the following event information to kthorson@mafp.org.
