My pal Fitz Koehler is the Mom of two of the happiest kids I know and advocate for millions of other kids who deserve the chance to be healthy and fit. She's a fitness expert (check out Fitzness.com), with a Master's Degree in Exercise and Sports Sciences who's always had a soft spot in her heart for kids. Last year she decided to combine her two passions and has launched the Morning MIle fitness program in 43 schools. This program allows kids to start their dat by walking or running laps with fun, music and friends at school, before school starts. She matches each school with a corporate partner who pays for equipment such as a nice stereo and a inspiring reward program for the kids, so the schools can implement the program without straining their budget. So far, her Morning Milers have run about 100,000 miles. I'd love to see her win this award to get even more students active each morning. She has over 150 schools waiting to be matched with corporate sponsors to get started. Oh! And the best, Fitz always says that taking part in the Morning Mile with these kids gives her "goosebumps". -- The video link wouldn't accept so I'm including it here.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nOamg0bM8X8

You are inspiring! This is an issue that is near and dear to my heart and this should become a national movement across all schools. Please let me know if I can help you market this – I have a branding firm and we are happy to help any way we can. http://www.schifinolee.com
