Last week, 12 children in Brookside Community Health Center’s Healthy Lifestyles Clinic received a special surprise – newly refurbished bikes to call their own.
The City of Boston’s Roll it Forward campaign partnered with the Healthy Lifestyles Clinic to provide the children with bikes refurbished and donated by local bike shops.
“The children were so excited,” said Max Alderman, urban youth health sports coordinator at Brookside. “We’d really like to continue partnering with Roll it Forward.”
The Brookside Healthy Lifestyles Clinic meets weekly to provide children who are at high risk for obesity-related health issues with organized physical activities, family support and nutrition counseling. Clinic participants learned about bike safety before they received the bicycles from Roll it Forward.
