FAMILY FUN RUN TO BENEFIT CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Dallas, Texas, March 27, 2008 – Childhood obesity continues to be a serious problem in the United States, and Dallas area kids are no exception.  In the state of Texas, 25% of children 6-18 years of age are either overweight or obese.  Dallas residents need more fun events that promote good nutrition and physical activity for the entire family.

 

The 4th Annual Market, Set, Go! Fun Run and Garden Gallop, on Saturday, April 19, 2008, is a wonderful family event that promotes healthy eating and exercise habits.  The Dallas Dietetic Association (DDA) and Fit-For-Me Foundation have united for this very important cause with money raised benefiting Fit-For-Me, a non-profit organization committed to reducing childhood obesity rates in our area.

 

The event will be held on Saturday, April 19, 2008 at the Dallas Farmer’s Market, 1010 South Pearl Street, Dallas, TX 75201.  For competitive runners, the course is USATF-certified and champion chip timing will be used.  Special registrations are available for teams of 25 and families of four in addition to individual registrations for people from 10 to 75 years old. For the event schedule, go to http://www.dallasdietitian.com.

 

The Dallas Dietetic Association (DDA), a local affiliate of the American Dietetic Association (ADA)has an active membership of over 300 Registered Dietitians. DDA and ADA strive to improve the health of all Americans through evidence-based nutrition research and education.

 

Fit-for-Me Foundation was created in March of 2006 by Don-Miguel, founder of Don Miguel Fitness, and is recognized as a nonprofit public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The foundation's mission is to advocate and advance fitness & wellness programs and services directed to better the lives of young people (K- College).

 

The DDA can arrange interviews with its members to discuss the 4th Annual Market, Set, Go! 5K Fun Run and Garden Gallop.  Contact Angela Lemond, DDA’s Public Relations Chair at angela.lemond@tx.rr.com or 972.727.1222.
