HEMPSTEAD — Several times a week, a group of mothers known as the Garden City Team for kids meet to run. The group raises money to support programs designed to get children running early on in their lives. One of the programs benefitted is the Hempstead Early Childhood Program where children can take advantage of the Mighty Milers program. Children in the program spend fifteen minutes a day, twice a week running. The milers can track how much they've run via an online database, as well as other free incentives, like medals for every 26.2 miles they run.
