Our service organization focuses exclusively on helping kids. I believe one of the most profound ways we can help kids is to fight the overweight problem in our country:
1) By doing so we teach the kids by example the value of healthy living.
2) By staying more healthy, we are physically able to help young people throughout our lives.
3) Healthier lifestyles will mean fewer of our dollars are siphoned away solving weight-related health problems, which now totals about $2 Billion a year JUST IN MISSOURI!
By joining with my friends to "compete" against other teams, we ALL win no matter where we place at the end of this venture.
