I just feel like running!

the problem:

We are trying to get kids and parents alike off the couches , XBOX360,and playstation 3,to show them that being outside is a wonderful thing and how it can stay beauitful if we all chip in.We also wanna aim the marathon at some overweight and obese people and show them the slow cycle of destruction they are bringing upon themselves.

vital stats:

people impacted:

300

people involved:

300

why it's important:

Because as you look around you see more and more obese and overweight people everyday and if you take a stroll in the neighborhood park theres tons and tons of trash there and it makes me so sad knowing that we mankind have done this to our world and destroying ourselves. I'ts a slow cycle but with a little bit of effort and patience I think we can make a difference and our voices will be heard.

the plan of action:

Our goal is to get a few hundred people to attend a marathon(3 miles) and expierence the beautiful wilderness and how it should look and whats going to happen if we continue to sit on our behind and do nothing and continue to destroy whats most valueable to us mother earth.

how you can get involved:

By spreading the word out to people about obesity and the eviroment and how if we all took a couple of minutes out of our lives to go outside or pick up some trash you see in the street or where ever we can make a h=big difference.
