Kids Charity Walk is a marathon-a-day walk-a-thon across America in just 100 days. This amazing feat will be done by motivational speaker Leo Schreven.
WHY IS HE DOING IT??? Simple!!! To raise money to help provide proper nutrient support to the world’s over 5,000,000 children who die every year from malnutrition.
While you are reading this report 11 children will lose their battle with malnutrition and cease living. But we can help others fight back by working together. Leo will start February 9, 2011 at Jackson Beach, Florida and finish at Imperial Beach, San Diego, California on May 19, 2011.

The biggest killer of children is malnutrition. Each year over five million children die from malnutrition. That's one child every six seconds. By the time you have finished reading this brief report approximately 38 children will have died from lack of adequate micronutrient nutrition.
"Hidden Hunger", due to lack of micronutrients, is not obvious to the casual observer. The World Food Program supplies over 450,000 tons of food (grain) yearly, so the heart-wrenching photos of starving children are not as common as they used to be.
But the shocking reality is that over five million children are still dying every year. Major micronutrient malnutrition means death for over five million children every year. However, mild micronutrient malnutrition often causes blindness, stunted growth, poor cognition, and susceptibility to a host of diseases.
