Austin Mayor-athon

Austin Mayor Will Wynn cares about the youth Texas. Wynn is participating in the Austin Marathon this weekend in order to raise money for “Marathon Kids,” a program meant to teach fitness and proper nutrition to children at risk of Type-Two diabetes.

AT&T promises to match donations of up to $10000. Wynn is looking to raise $1000 a mile on his own.

This is a perfect example of a politician doing the right thing. Wynn is leading the children of Austin by a fantastic example, without having to spend every dime the city has. He has found a way to raise money through a mutually beneficial relationship with a a leader in private industry.


I applaud Wynn for his participation in the community, using his position to raise awareness and educate children about the dangers of an unhealthy lifestyle.
