Active Kids, Active Minds | Kathleen Tullie | TEDxNatick

Despite the fact that our children are wired to move, our country is in the midst of a physical inactivity epidemic. Kathleen Tullie took matters into her own hands by starting a grassroots program that empowers children, parents, teachers and community members to fight against physical inactivity. Through her passion, research and the "Word of Moms,” Kathleen created a free and turnkey solution to getting more kids active everywhere.

Kathleen Tullie is the Founder and Executive Director of BOKS (Build Our Kids Success), a free physical activity program that went from one local Massachusetts school in 2009 to 2200+ schools across the US & Canada and reaching as far as Japan and South Korea. She was honored by First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative in 2013 and 2014, received the Community Leadership Award in 2013 by the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, and most recently was listed as one of the 20 Most Influential Moms by "Family Circle."

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
