Jane Svehlak is a runner who is a member of the exciting new non-profit, Race with Purpose www.racewithpurpose.org   Jane’s running the NYC Marathon this Sunday.  Her run is dedicated to raising money for the free, national Marathon Kids six month running/walking, nutrition and schoolyard gardening program. 

The eleven year old Marathon Kids® non-profit program is serving almost 115,00 registered K-5th graders of all level abilities and income this year.  Our goal is to continue to move thousands of children from sedentary to non-sedentary and to prevent Type 2 diabetes, via our free six month school and community-based program.  The program costs us about $10/child. 

Our passion is to keep it free for ALL children in our Marathon Kids cities:  Los Angeles, Baltimore, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Rio Grande Valley (and soon to launch, Chicago).

You can keep Jane inspired on her 26.2 mile fundraising NYC Marathon journey this Sunday…and you can help Marathon Kids by making a pledge for whatever amount you like.  Just go to the above link.  It’s so easy!

...a global collaboration of families running/walking and making healthy food choices

Our Mission:   Marathon Kids® is a free, endurance building running/walking/nutrition and gardening program for K-5th graders.  We build joyful community around children and are quickly accepted into public, private and home schools as a free, innovative celebratory fitness program, resonating with the child…and with the child’s family.  The child develops the love and habit of moving through space and carries forward the power of muscular, nutritional and psychological well being.
