Allie's Bio:
Hey y'all!
I'm Allie Brindle and I am excited to put on the first ever Child Strong 5K & Kiddo Challenge. I am an undergraduate biology student at UNC Chapel Hill, where I am currently working on pursuing a future career in medicine. I grew up in Gold Hill, NC and graduated from East Rowan High School in the Class of 2013, where I was heavily involved in academics, athletics, and community service. Currently, I am also a group fitness instructor at the East Rowan YMCA. I love the motivation and the family-friendly experience that a community gym provides - it's such a great way to stay active!
Always passionate about health, nutrition, and physical fitness, in addition to my love of helping children, I decided to face one of the fastest growing problems in America: childhood obesity and overall wellness. During my junior and senior years of high school, I followed my mentor, Rowan-Salisbury Health Coordinator, Amy Smith (also a UNC graduate), to various schools throughout the county to inform students of the importance of healthy living. After many appearances and learning from Mrs. Smith, I decided to plan a "health fair" of my own at Elizabeth Duncan Koontz Elementary School in Salisbury, NC. After all of the planning and research that came with the event, I hope the kindergarten students had just as much fun as I did while learning about healthy eating habits, how to make yummy snacks, the necessity of dental care, and the importance of physical activity.
Since then, my passion for child wellness has continued to grow, and my love for the children of our community has become even stronger. I hope that you will join me in raising awareness for the upcoming event, and share the love that the children deserve here in Rowan (and neighboring) counties!
Thank you for your support and God Bless,
Allie XO
