Marathon Kids has impacts a huge number of children every year and they keep on growing. Their way of making sure that children stay active, as well as learn about healthy lifestyles makes a real impact on the life-long outlook for the children that participate. They know this because they have independent studies being done to ensure efficacy. What is particularly exciting as a board member is to see how the fantastic team is working toward an even bigger impact going forward from here.
