Kids of STEEL is an amazing program that not only is preparing elementary students to run/walk the final mile of Pittsburgh Marathon May 2, but is also teaching them the value of quality nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Students at Waynesburg Central Elementary School arrive half-hour early to walk at least 22 laps around that gym (equivalent to a mile.) During the four-month training period, the kids would have walked 22.6 miles, which is a full marathon. Along the way, they will also try new fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts.

We at Move! Karachi believe, it is about time that schools in Karachi too start encouraging kids to eat healthier and develop the love of exercise, such as walking a mile everyday!
