Recently, First Lady Michelle Obama, unveiled her campaign against obesity and encouraged everyone to eat healthy and get active - ideas that Girls on the Run has been promoting since 1996.
Everybody can be active - it's fun and good for you. Yet, the current statistics are discouraging. One out of every three American children is obese or overweight, which puts them at a higher risk for diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and more. We spend billions of dollars a year combating obesity-related illnesses and still our children are on course to have shorter life spans.
As the First Lady said "None of us wants this future for our kids. We have
to act, so "let's move." Girls on the Run is a great way to do just that.
We’ve completed the first round of coaches GOTR/GOT training and CPR/First Aid certifications and are SO excited! These amazing women have impressed us with their compassion for children and their commitment to the Girls on the Run philosophy. The caliber of talent we have this year is mind blowing! IF the coaches’ excitement is any indicator, we will have a spectacular year!
Thanks to all those who have participated in the trainings and we look forward to a FUN-tastic year!
