During his 3,000 mile bike ride from Key West to Lubec, Canada, bicyclist Chris Figureida stopped by several Arlington schools to talk to students about the importance of nutrition and an active, healthy lifestyle.
On behalf of the American Heart Association, Chris has spoken to over 20,000 school children about his adventures biking across the United States. In addition to talking about exercise and good eating habits, Chris teaches students about the geography of his trip, the history of some of the places he has visited, and about the importance of bike safety.
His mission is to "engage people - and especially kids, our leaders of tomorrow - to know that they can make a difference too - starting with themselves and healthy habits. Every day."
