“With no prior cycling experience, AAforCO’s founder and president Teddy Herrera departed his hometown of Elk Grove June 5, 2010, on an 11,000-mile, 21-city bicycle tour to raise awareness for childhood obesity. His mission is to demonstrate to children of all sizes that through determination, perseverance and dedication anything is possible – when you make the decision to do it, step out your front door and do it.
Community members can follow Herrera on Facebook at Across American for Childhood Obesity; on Twitter at www.twitter.com/onepedalatatime or on his website acrossamericaforchildhoodobesity.wordpress.com.
