Why Kimble Got Involved
As an athlete, Kimble embraced the importance of a healthy diet,
nutrition, physical fitness and an active lifestyle on a daily
basis. Kimble knew that in order to be the best at his profession
of football, he had to avoid the pitfalls of tobacco, alcohol and
drug abuse.
During and
after his career, Kimble noticed the lack of physical activities
and unhealthy eating habits, as well as the increase of substance
abuse among our youth. Kimble felt that with his background, he
could be a part of a community effort in making a positive impact
in the lives of our youth.
"Always reach for the
stars & never settle for less! With commitment, anything is
possible." Kimble Anders
