Generation Excel believes that inspiration, motivation, education, proper support and tools, when coupled with the correct information, gives people a fighting chance to lead healthy lives. We've seen this every year since 2004 when Generation Excel founder Gary Marino - fresh off a 150 pound weight loss - launched our first campaign: a daunting, first of its kind cross-country walk from Florida to Boston combining all of the elements we believe changes people. It reached over 70 million people and continues to inspire to this day.

1. We believe that information alone does not change people.

2. Inspiration, motivation, education, proper support and tools, when coupled with the correct information, gives people a fighting chance.

3. We help fund fitness programs and weight loss camps for at-risk and low-income children.
