SPECIAL TO TUB CHRONICLE
Registration for the 29th
Annual YMCA Mistletoe Run to be
held on Saturday, Dec. 1, is going
on now at the William G. White Jr.
Family YMCA and online at
www.ymcamistletoe.org.
For the second year, proceeds
from the Mistletoe Half Marathon,
5k and One-Mile Fun Run will
fund programs that fight childhood
obesity in our community. The race
is a longstanding community event
(popular among families, first-time
runners and walkers, and serious
athletes alike. Local law firm Bell,
Davis & Pitt, P.A., is the presenting
sponsor of the race.
Last year was the largest race to
date, with more than 3,400 runners
and walkers participating in the
event. Tbe YMCA Mistletoe Run is
dedicated to fighting childhood
obesity in our community, where
41 percent of children in Forsyth
County are considered overweight
or obese - more than twice the
national average.
"The overwhelming support of
our community and sponsors
makes the YMCA Mistletoe Run a
festive tradition that meets a criti
cal need in our community - to help
kids and families live healthier,"
shared Darryl Head, vice president
of Operations at the White Family
YMCA. "This event is a great way
for runners and walkers of all abil
ity levels to make a commitment to
physical activity."
The Mistletoe Run includes
free childcare for all race partici
pants, a beautiful course through
Winston-Salem's Buena Vista,
Graylyn and Wake Forest areas,
and a community party at the Y fol
lowing the race. Participants are
encouraged to wear festive cos
tumes.
"After a great run, we welcome
race participants and the friends
and family cheering them on to
join us for festivities at the Y and
the award ceremony following the
race," said Head.
Registration will be open
through the end of November with
limited registration on race day.

it is more than passing a
test.
"It's the harmonious
development of the phys
ical, mental and spiritual
powers of the student.
There are particular ways
and measurements that a
teacher can enforce to
bring out the best in a
student," she explained.
Hammond also urged
parents to take more of an
active role in promoting
good health to their kids
and to work hard to steer
them in the right direc
tion.
"As children get older
and leave the home place,
they sometimes make the
wrong choices. Still, par
ents who have taught
all that they know should
not feel guilty for their
wrong choices. For when
children leave home, they
have the choice to make,
and that could be good or
bad. Parents, hope that
it's for the good," she
said.
The Darby Vision
Award was given to
Molene Johnson, who has
worked diligently for
many years with the stu
dents at the Academy.
