| BULLETIN: Follow the MO-AR TREK at www.moartrek.blogspot.com
Did you know that 30% of children in the U.S. are overweight or obese? On April 18th of 2009 Jason Eads will begin a 300+ mile multi-day run from St. Louis, MO to Bentonville, AR in an effort to bring awareness to this epidemic and GET PEOPLE ACTIVE.
Thanks to those of you who have offered to help. The best way to help is to make a donation through Karno Kids, a charity managed by ultra running legend Dean Karnazes (pictured above), which aims to "to provide financial support to organizations and programs that are focused on improving the health and wellness of our youth and restoring and preserving the environment and urban open-spaces". Dean has committed that all funds raised from the MO-AR TREK will go to the GOTR councils in Missouri, who are working directly with Jason for the event. Girls on the Run is an organization that works to instill the habit of a healthy and active lifestyle in our kids, as well as promote self esteem.
This site allows you to donate and there is pre-set amounts below that make it easy to choose a contribution level (or just choose "other" and donate any amount that makes sense for you). For those who like to take a little more risk, Jason encourages you to donate an amount per mile he runs for the duration of the event. In any case, ALL donations are helpful and appreciated, regardless of the amount. Thank you! |
