News Fight For Life-The Race To Fight Against Childhood Obesity 2010 Thank you for continuing to fight against childhood obesity! We did it again!! With your help we had another successful race day on Saturday March 13, 2010. The 2nd Annual Fight For Life-The Race To Fight Against Childhood Obesity held at Shelby Farms Park, Memphis, TN brought in the sunshine although it was cold and had a few drops of rain. We had an awesome time! Students and adults showed strength in numbers to fight this epidemic that threatens our children’s future. We had 800 to attend the racing event. We could not have accomplished this success without your support! Our First Lady Michelle Obama would have been proud of our efforts. We are already on our way preparing for our 3rd Annual Fight For Life Race. It will be March 5, 2011, at Shelby Farms Park, Memphis TN. We value you as one of our important team members in fighting childhood obesity, and we know you will be here once again for our children. |
