Rapper Shawty Lo and Atlanta Falcons player Chauncey Davis have teamed up for a great cause.
Davis's Bike For Life Foundation is giving away 92 bikes to kids this Holiday season in an effort to promote a healthy lifestyle. In a story initially reported by AllHipHop.com, Shawty Lo is quoted as saying:
"I'm more than happy to donate bikes for Chauncey Davis' Bike For Life initiative as a way to help kids stay active and healthy, As a diabetic myself, I appreciate all of Chauncey's efforts in the community to promote diabetes awareness. I also understand the importance of educating young people early on and encouraging them to get the proper exercise to maintain a healthy weight.
Anything I can do to help fight this disease, I am more than willing to lend my time and resources."
Nearly 24 million people or roughly 7.8% of the population have diabetes according to the Diabetes Association Of Greater Cleveland.
The Bike For Life giveaway takes place December 22nd at 2:00pm at the Manuel Maloof Auditorium in Decatur, Georgia.
