A Stand Against Childhood Obesity The Young Marathon Runner’s of America’s (YMRA) mission is, “to inspire the youth to live a healthier life by becoming physically active and nutritionally savvy”. Our vision is to see every child embrace a physically active and productive lifestyle. With the goal of reducing the childhood obesity rate in upstate South Carolina by 50 percent by the end of this decade, we seek to partner with parents, youth, schools, churches, hospitals, and athletic facilities to pursue the organizations purpose of activating the youth in upstate South Carolina. By educating our children on the benefits of a healthier more physically active lifestyle, we can dramatically reduce the obesity rate in South Carolina, thus improving the quality of life for this generation and the lives of the many they have the potential to impact. This is possible by promoting a culture of health & wellness and meeting our objective of seeing Greenville County become the first Health & Wellness city in the State of South Carolina. YMRA will work relentlessly at pursuing the organization’s purpose of activating the youth in upstate S.C.South Carolina ranks 13th nationally in the number of obese children whose ages range from 10 to 17 years, meaning a movement is needed now to reverse this cycle and the negative effects that obesity produces on the quality of one’s life. Even worse, eight of the ten states having the highest number of overweight children are in the Southeast. Child obesity is a national epidemic that affects all of our children.
