CMT One Country, CMT's pro-social initiative, will provide media support for first lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign to encourage communities, families and kids to lead healthier, more active lives. Darius Rucker will encourage the CMT audience through public service announcements to get active and eat healthy. In addition, CMT One Country will highlight its nonprofit partner, Feeding America, which provides nutritious meals through its BackPack and Kids Café programs. The initiative will also receive on-air support from CMT Top 20 Countdown and CMT Insider. "I have three children, so fitness and health are serious concerns in our household," Rucker said. "I've been blessed to have a wonderful wife that starts my family's healthy lifestyle initiative at home, but there are so many children out there without that guidance and encouragement. By making this a community effort, we can extend that knowledge beyond just the household and make an active lifestyle a way of life."
