Shark Fin 5K

Your donation through the Shark Fin 5K will support Active Suncoast’s Youth Running program to get kids active in the Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties to fight the childhood obesity epidemic.  One in three kids is overweight or obese simply from a lack of daily physical activity. Studies show that overweight kids are likely to become overweight and obese adults. Obese and overweight children are at risk for a number of serious health problems such as diabetes, asthma and heart problems. Additionally, overweight kids are subject to body shaming, teasing and bullying which can lead to decreased self-confidence and withdrawal from social interaction.

 Please join Active Suncoast founder and president Karen Haynes in this battle to get kids off the sofa and active.  For the past 33 years Karen has proudly and unselfishly served our country in the United States Navy.  Known by call sign “Hollywood” during her career as a helicopter pilot, Karen has flown in support of numerous operations around the world.  Karen’s motto is, Commitment to Country, Commitment to Community.
