I have always made sure that my kids stay active in sports and at home. And that they eat a healthy balanced diet. Yes, the are kids and part of being a kid is eating junk food. However keeping it in moderation has been key to my kids staying healthy and active.
Unfortunately, that's not the normal in this country. Childhood obesity is a HUGE problem and it is imperative that we address this issues and do what we can to save our kids.
One way we can help is by downloading the new IPhone ap by Saucony called RUN4GOOD. It keeps track of your running stats and every time you run, you are helping fight childhood obesity. HOW FLIPPING COOL IS THAT?
Each month a community challenge is set. If reached, Saucony will double its contribution to charities helping kids stay healthy. The more you run, the more you’ll help the cause, and cross personal milestones along the way. Sign up is free and so is the ap. Go check out RUN4GOOD.
There is no reason why everyone shouldn't download this ap and try it out. Even if you are a walker, you can still log your miles like a runner does.
Together with Saucony, we can make a difference.
Download RUN4GOOD today:)
Oh and most of you guys know my love affair with my Saucony Kinvaras, this wonderful cause I am running for now, makes me love them even more.
Wish they had an app for the southern linc smartphone! :)
