Day 274 - Supported a Friend and Healthy Lifestyles

Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years.  The percentage of children aged 6–11 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 18% in 2010. Similarly, the percentage of adolescents aged 12–19 years who were obese increased from 5% to 18% over the same period.  In 2010, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.  This is definitely a national epidemic.

One organization trying to fight this epidemic while promoting healthy and active lifestyles is The Original Get Movin' Crew.   The Original Get Movin' Crew offers a unique, healthy, and fun alternative in fundraising. They understand that now, more than ever promoting a healthy lifestyle to our youth is critical. 
 
One of our young friends Avery is participating in a Get Movin' Crew school fun run in a couple of weeks to raise money for their school.  So for today's random act of kindness I supported Avery in raising funds for her school and promoting a healthy and active lifestyle!!  GO AVERY!!
