May 16 is Running Free's Child Poverty in Canada Awareness Day
More than one in seven Canadian children lives in poverty today. Children who experience poverty, especially persistently, are at higher risk of suffering health problems, developmental delays, and behavior disorders. They tend to attain lower levels of education and are more likely to live in poverty as adults. Start2Finish - The Running & Reading Club program is currently operating within multiple inner city schools, servicing over 1,400 children across Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver, including several First Nations communities.
Running Free recognizes the significant impact the program has had on the lives of many and on May 16th will donate 5% of sales towards this important nation-wide program. To find out more, visit www.start2finish.org. Running Free is proud to have been a supporter of the program since its inception in 2004. Shop at any Running Free location or online.
