Fitter Younger We aim to increase the physical activity levels of today's Children and Adolescents.

As the world becomes more technologically advanced, the children and adolescents of today are spending less time participating in physical activities and more time watching television or playing computer games. This increase in a sedentary lifestyle is having a huge negative impact on the health and well-being of Children and Adolscents. Increases in the risks of Cardiovascular diseases, obesity i

ssues, as well as other mental issues such as social anxiety and depression are all influenced by lack of physical activity. Physical activity provides the opportunity to be active, have fun, feel good, be healthy and express yourself. And 'Fitter Younger' are providing the opportunities to increase participation in physical activities. Active children are happy and healthy and more likely to become active adults.

Fitter Younger has been inundated with queries these past few days about our fundraising event. As pupils return to schools all over Ireland, schools are now focused on planning for the year ahead and figuring out how to raise funds for their activities.

Last year our School Marathon Relay event assisted schools in raising hundreds of thousands of euros, all while promoting fitness in a fun and thrilling way.

If you would like your School to take part in our School Marathon Relay event, get in touch now before dates get booked up. Tag your School or Parents Association so they don't miss out!!

The weather was perfect and the girls and boys were in fantastic form, singing along to the music and enjoying their day out in the sunshine. Their day got even better when they realised that had set a new school record, completing the marathon distance in a super time! Well done to everyone who took part today!!

Today Fitter Younger made our first visit to Derrychrin Primary School for their event. The school was using the event to raise funds for a past pupil, Kerri Mullan, who was involved in a serious accident three months ago.

It was absolutely brilliant to see the full school, all pupils and staff, along with Kerri's family, come together to complete the marathon distance. The feeling of community was really on display today, and, in the glorious sunshine, they finished the event in a fantastic time! Well done to everyone involved in the event today!!

Fitter Younger had a very unique day back in Scoil Éanna, Ballybay today. With the weather turning wet, we decided to run the event in the School hall and altered our to complete a shorter half marathon distance instead. There was great excitement at the novelty of running this event indoors, and with lots of cheering and encouragement, the girls and boys finished the event in a brilliant time! Well done everyone!!
