In the United States of America, nearly 25 million children are overweight or obese.  According to reports, childhood obesity is growing at an alarming rate; one out of four children doesn't participate in any physical activity.  If we don't take action now, the lives of an entire generation of youth will be at risk.

 

    Obesity and overweight in our community are major risks factors for a number of chronic diseases, including cancer (endometrial, breast and colon) diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (heart disease and stroke).  We take aim at eliminating Childhood Obesity in the New York City area by building Centers all around the state: "Urging kids to eat healthy" by promoting good health through nutrition and physical activity.  We plan to work in collaboration with other companies and organizations already involved in the process of fighting Childhood Obesity.  

 

Why Childhood Obesity?

    Obesity is mostly prevalent in the poorest socio-economic sectors where level of co-existing nutrient deficiencies may likewise be higher.  Poor food are preferred because they are cheap, provide satiety and are widely promoted and readily available.  With the overwhelming atmosphere in New York City (hard working families, busy lifestyle, working two jobs) parents are unable to spend enough time at home cooking healthily for the kids. Our Centers will provide parents with the necessary assistance to prevent any further damage by childhood obesity. 

 

How Can You Help?

     Health studies have shown that physical activity helps children develop strength, raise their metabolism, and establish healthy fitness habits.  Let us will walk together for a common cause:  The Elimination of Childhood Obesity  

  The money we raised will allow overweight and obese children the opportunity to receive the screening, support, and treatment they need to live happy and active lives.  We will also be able to educate the community on the importance of healthy eating and physical activity.  Childhood obesity is preventable.  Let's work together to keep our kids healthy and active!  Call 347 628 6325 to become a volunteer.  

 

     The first Annual Walkathon in Marine Park, Brooklyn NY Against Childhood Obesity had been a tremendous success. A motivated crowd made this event spectacular following with Red Tiger Academy exhibiting Karate principles etc.  The 9 years old boy Jahdale LOGAN of Carnasie, Brooklyn won the 2 miles Marathon under the observance of the sports's committee led by Red Tiger Academy.
