At a time when childhood obesity continues to impact millions of children, the need to facilitate healthier lifestyles among youth is profound.
ING Run For Something Better is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to fund free school-based running fitness programs that challenge children to get active, set goals and start a lifetime habit of physical activity. Each program is capped off with a fun culminating running event involving the school, or even the larger community. In addition to fighting childhood obesity, research shows that physical activity improves a child’s self esteem, school performance and overall wellbeing.
“Not only is Celebration Ride the ultimate personal challenge, but it gives me the platform to engage thousands of people across the country in a conversation about fitness and healthy living,” says Sarah Stanley. “I’m proud to support ING Run For Something Better charity in their mission of arming children with the knowledge, motivation, and tools they need to lead healthier, happier lives.”
Sarah, together with ING Run For Something Better, envisions a day when all children will grow up with the knowledge, motivation, and tools to lead healthier, happier lives.
Sarah started running when she was 14 to deal with stress and the difficulty of life. Instead of turning to negative things, she found that running was a positive thing. Up at 4:30am Monday through Friday morning, she ran, and she's been running ever since.
