"  Join the race against childhood obesity by lacing up your favorite pair of running shoes with Red Laces. For only 1$ you can support the Saucony Run For Good program, a foundation committed to supporting non-profit organizations that will help kids get fit and healthy.  According to the Center For Disease Control and Prevention, millions of children in the U.S. are overweight. An estimated 17% of kids are obese. Each quarter Run For Good will choose seven non-profit organizations to receive a grant for programs that will teach kids healthy eating and exercise tips. On April 9, 2007 Governor Deval L. Patrick launched the Run For Good foundation with &amp;quot;Run For Good Day&amp;quot; in the Commonwealth of Massachussets. &amp;quot;We know we can&amp;#039;t solve the epidemic that impacts children, both here in the Commonwealth and across the nation, on our own. The Saucony Run For Good Foundation hopes that our grants will make a difference for these programs and the children that they serve, and will help reverse the alarming trend of childhood obesity,&amp;quot; said Richie Woodworth, president of Saucony and the Board of Directors for the foundation.  The American Heart Association found that 70% of children and teens will become overweight adults. If you have a community or non-profit organization dedicated to helping kids learn about healthy eating and fun fitness programs, please contact Run For Good.  Add a splash of red to your shoes and help America&amp;#039;s kids get out, get active and get healthy by purchasing a pair of these heart-healthy laces.
