This year, my elementary-aged children's school cancelled its typical brochure fundraiser of fattening candies and junk-style trinkets and opted instead to start a new tradition with a fun run. Parents were all abuzz, and all of them in a good way. Having kids exercise their way to help raise much-needed money to support the school can't be a bad thing. And with report after report showing an upswing of child obesity, of obesity being tied to school absences, and of kids walking to school less (and often not due to safety but of the "whine" factor), I was glad my kids so eagerly ran for a great cause and for their own health!
