Carry The Torch

I already wrote a post about the new way that Canada is motivating it's kids to get active. It's called SOGO Active, and it is a new program that gives teens, aged 13 to 19 the incentive to get moving. It connects kids with other kids, letting them track their progress online, sharing their stories and successes. It sounds like a very promising program, aimed at matching kids with activities they will enjoy doing, so that they will continue to stay active and healthy.

Coca-Cola is awarding a wonderful opportunity to some of the kids who sign up and participate in the program. One thousand kids who join the program and show a real commitment to living an active, healthier lifestyle will be granted a torchbearer spot in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay. Talk about a once in a lifetime opportunity! This is a sure way to inspire kids of Canada to make some real changes in their lives, and also provide some of them with an amazing memory they will have forever. It would be awesome to be able to tell the story of carrying the Olympic Flame to future generations. The only way to be eligible is to sign up for the SOGO Active program, and make a serious commitment to being healthy and active.
