Studies have shown that children with disabilities have a 38 percent higher obesity rate than children without disabilities. The group Kids Enjoy Exercise Now (KEEN) is trying to combat that statistic.
Volunteers act as coaches and together everyone has fun and gets moving on Sundays in a few different locations in the region, including at Tilden Middle School in Bethesda.
