Nearly 400 Miami-Dade Parks summer campers gathered at Goulds Park in Miami for inspiration and exercise as part an expanded Morning Mile program sponsored by AvMed Health Plans on June 12, 2013. Former Miami Heat point guard and five-time NBA All-Star Tim Hardaway, Olympic Coach and University of Miami Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Amy Deem, track and field students from the University of Miami, Olympic hurdler Bershawn Jackson, Fitz Koehler from Fitzness International, Pat Nelson from AvMed Health Plans and Deputy Chief of Staff Helena Sumpter from the Office of Miami-Dade County District 9 Commissioner Dennis C. Moss, shared personal stories, stretched and led the children as they embarked on the 100 for 100 Challenge with the goal of each camper running 100 miles by summers end.
Now available at all 42 Miami-Dade Parks summer camps, the Morning Mile program incentivizes children to get moving each morning with a run, jog or walk. Children receive collectible necklace charms for every five miles logged as they strive to receive the coveted 100 mile charm.
As part of the 100 for 100 Challenge, local companies are encouraged to donate $100 to the non-profit Parks Foundation of Miami-Dade for each child who reaches the 100-mile milestone. Dollars are donated to the Fit2Play Scholarship Fund, matched 100-percent, and provide children in need scholarships to attend after-school and summer camp programs. For more information on the 100 for 100 Challenge and how your organization can get involved, e-mail vmallette@miamidade.gov or call 305-755-7804.
Created by Fitzness International, the Morning Mile program provides participating schools or parks with a program guidebook and everything needed to bring the exercise program to their students. The program has been so successful with nearly 150 programs in Florida, Texas, California, Louisiana, Canada and on a US Air Force Base near Tokyo, Japan, that venues around the United States and beyond have applied to participate so they can implement the program as well. Companies like Avmed, who share a commitment to health, children and/or education sponsor these programs with a generous heart, and experience long-term marketing benefits in return. Fitzness International President, Fitz Koehler, says, "It's a win-win and I won't stop until every child in the USA has an opportunity to participate each morning. I believe this is the cure to childhood obesity. With more than 200 schools on our waiting list, we just need more great companies like AvMed or generous individuals to come forward and help get these programs started!"
