Every year, 2.3 million children die because they don’t get enough of the right food.
In the UK , the prime minister (David Cameron) has announced that he will lead the way in the Race Against Hunger. He will use his G8 presidency in 2013 to set ambitious plans to tackle hunger and save millions of children's lives.
The world has shown in recent years that it can take dramatic action - millions of children have been saved from preventable diseases. But despite major progress, hunger is still the root cause of a third of all child deaths.
Right now, rises in global food prices are deepening the crisis. Families in the poorest countries are finding it harder and harder to afford the nutritious food their children need.
On Friday you have the chance to run and rise money with your effort and help to tackle hunger and save millions of lives.
Congratulations in advance and good luck to everybody! You should be proud of yourselves!
