Nemours Partners in Inaugural “It’s for the Kids!” 5k Run

On Saturday morning, March 21, Nemours served as a community partner at the inaugural “It’s for the Kids!” 5k run– a community event benefiting the Central Florida Children’s Home. More than 400 adults and children attended the event, held in the Lake Nona area.

At the “Nemours Activity Center” children played with hula hoops and jump ropes as they learned easy and fun ways to get one hour of physical activity per day and got information about the 5-2-1 Almost None NHPS (Nemours Health and Prevention Services) program. Dr. Lloyd Werk and Dr. Mike Campbell of the Nemours Healthy Choices Clinic, provided free BMI screenings. Nemours was proud to partner with event organizer and Nemours Council member Rick Tesch to share our messages of child advocacy, health and wellness.
