Why This Run Matters
It's not just a race but a Revolution on two feet.
- Ensuring that children who are the prospective sportsmen and women and change agents of tomorrow are properly nourished as they transition from infancy to early childhood (Weaning stage)
- Promoting improved nutrition among youth engaged in sports, recognizing that their ability to participate competitively is directly influenced by adequate and appropriate dietary support. Currently, there is no clear financing for this segment of the sports industry in the country.
- Supporting the development of appropriate nutrition-based products targeting both initiatives through PIBID/BIRDC.
