NASHUA, N.H. (April 13, 2004) – Young people at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua received some valuable tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle today from Boston Celtics guard Chucky Atkins and representatives from McDonald's and Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC) of Eastern New England.
Joining more than 80 local children at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua were: Atkins; Edie Stevenson, Executive Director of RMHC of Eastern New England; Paul Montour, local McDonald's Owner/Operator and RMHC board member; and Matt Montour, local McDonald's Owner/Operator.
The Celtics star spoke with participants in the Boys & Girls Club's basketball program ranging in age from 7-16, sharing examples of healthy living from his own personal training regimen, including tips on eating right and staying in shape.
"Knowing the value of leading a healthy lifestyle is important for people of all ages," Atkins said.
"Even if you are not a professional athlete, if you do not take care of your body, you can't perform your best. I want to thank McDonald's for doing its part to spread the word about the importance of proper nutrition and exercise."
"McDonald's and RMHC of Eastern New England are proud to partner with the Celtics and Chucky Atkins to teach local youth about the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle," Stevenson said.
