(PRWEB) - May 20, 2013 - AlignLife of Waunakee is proud to announce that it is a 2013 race series sponsor of the Tri-4-Schools children’s triathlon. Tri-4-Schools is a nonprofit organization that uses athletic events as a platform to get kids active and fight childhood obesity. Their events aim to teach children about setting and achieving goals, fitness, nutrition, sportsmanship and self-confidence. Tri-4-Schools hopes to instill the basics of a healthy lifestyle in children ages 14 and under so they can make healthy choices that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Childhood obesity is one of the largest problems facing America today. The CDC reports that childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years. It has become such a large problem that in 2010, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. Adopting a healthier lifestyle from an early age including chiropractic care, proper nutrition and daily exercise will be paramount in changing these statistics.
