Dallas Marathon Kids 2007-2008 Kick-Off on Saturday, September 29, 2007.

To our friends—Below are joyful photos of volunteers, children at the Dallas Kick Off on this past Saturday.

Kudos to Dallas Volunteer Coordinator Terry Wade and to our emcee, Todd Whitthorne of Cooper Clinic. Todd has devoted many Saturdays to Marathon Kids.

Thank you to Whole Foods Market our Presenting Sponsor! Special thanks to Major Supporting Sponsor Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Texas as well as Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, RunOn! We could not keep this program free for 33,000 registered Dallas Marathon Kids without you. Thanks to Dallas ISD for providing school buses for their children. Special thanks to inspirational Physical Educators and classroom teachers!

The Meadows Foundation, The Moody Foundation and The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation all give so that the children (120,000 registered now) can be Marathon Kids and develop lifelong habits of fitness, making healthy food choices. The free six month running/walking, nutrition and schoolyard gardening program, contagious to parents, ...makes a lasting difference in lives.
