Browns and Bengals Players Team Up to Keep Kids Healthy

Posted Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Featured on Episode 6 of the 2009-2010 season

 

It's not often you'll see a Brown making friends with a Bengal - especially during football season. But Cleveland's Joe Thomas and Cincinnati's Chinedum Ndukwe have teamed up to help kids get healthy. They are encouraging kids to get at least sixty minutes of exercise each day and eat the right foods. The campaign called Fuel Up to Play Sixty will reach thirty six million students in schools across the country during the school year, including more than three thousand Ohio schools.
