COLUMBUS, Ga. - May 6, 2014 - PRLog -- According to the USDA More than 1 in 5 children are at risk of hunger.  Those figures increase to 1 in 3 among African-Americans and Latinos across the nation.  With such looming statistics, and local evidence of its accuracy; a regional business is taking a stand.

Body B 1, a fitness and personal training center with locations in Columbus, Georgia and Phenix City,  Alabama is hosting their first ever 5K Run / 3K Walk. A portion of proceeds will support the efforts of Backpack Buddies; a nonprofit organization working to combat weekend hunger of children whose only meals may be those which are school supplied.

The general public is being asked to gather families, friends and communities to run/walk to show love and concern to children who need our help.  The goal is to register 200 participants.
