JAG Youngster Inspires Parents to Lead a Healthy Lifestyle

Mansur Saltun is grade 4 learner at Firgrove Primary. A year ago he was a little overweight and did not participate in any sport at school. One year later he is passionate about running and has inspired his family to join him too.

Mighty Metres gave him the platform to embark on a healthier lifestyle. It has become custom at Firgrove Primary to start their day with the Mighty Metres programme.

Mansur has slowly started to lose weight because of the running. He even took it a bit further, and started exercising after school where we involved his mother and father.

They are proud of him and were inspired by his motivation to go beyond what was expected. He know also takes a healthy snack to school- instead of sweets and chips he previously did.

The family of Mansur thanks the Jag Foundation for introducing such a program in the school and they definitely live a healthier lifestyle now and hope to continue....
