Move! Music City Charity Race Team
- Why I'm Doing This
- What I'm Raising Money For
I am so excited to be training for and running with the Move! Music City team for the 2024 Rock N Roll Marathon in Nashville. After recently moving back to Nashville, I have found such a great sense of community through running and I truly believe it can have a huge impact on our lives.
Fun fact - the Move! Music City running program started at the elementary school in my neighborhood and I would always be so inspired seeing them running down my street! Read below for additional information about this program and how your donations will support Nashville's youth.

Tennessee is one of six states that have childhood obesity rates significantly higher than the national rate. We know that obesity can lead to long term health effects such as heart disease, depression, chronic illnesses, sleep apnea and an overall low quality of life. The American Council on exercise stated that research has proven kids who exercise are more likely to keep exercising as adults. They continued to state research shows exercise promotes improved school attendance and enhances academic performance.
Move! Music City is an incentive running program that will teach children the importance of getting up and moving every day. Weather it is walking, running, skipping or jumping, students will move for 5-10 minutes every morning before learning occurs. Our program was piloted at Fall Hamilton Elementary in 2021. With the programs great success, we have expanded into Four Nashville Elementary Schools, serving over 1,000 students and 40 teachers!
