So, she encouraged her class to run around their playing field for 15 minutes every day. The results were
26、 amazing, and then The Daily Mile was born. Yet, few had heard of Elaine until 2015 when she won a big prize and met some like-minded people. By March 2016, The Daily Mile Foundation was set up.

31、as country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply (供应). It is a sad fact especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.
