Mission

Vision

To create a nationwide movement where families run together, learn together, and thrive together, fostering sugar-smart communities free from the grip of preventable lifestyle diseases. We envision a healthier generation where active living and mindful eating are woven into the fabric of everyday life.

Why This Matters
