Taylor Fit For Kids
(Organizer of the Reindeer Run and H-E-RO- Run)
I became passionate about kids fitness and the tragic epidemic of childhood obesity when I organized the Fit Kids Marathon in February 2007 in conjunction with another event. I started that just to do something kind of cool for kids then I discovered how many people were interested in the effort and how much the kids loved it and how much we needed it. I stepped away from that first event and started my events to focus specifically on kids and expanded it to include even the little ones aged 1-4 years old.
