I met Tiger Greene last year when his dad had the winning bid at a charity auction to sit in on my radio show one morning.  They thought it would be a nice opportunity to promote an upcoming event of theirs that happens again this Saturday:

About Team Tiger

Team Tiger's mission is to help kids and families fight childhood obesity by giving them the resources, opportunity, education and most of all the support they need to succeed in their battle. This mission is led by Team Tiger’s 14-year-old founder (he founded Team Tiger at age 12) Tiger Greene's "lead by example" philosophy of "Yes We Can-Follow Me" while on his own journey to change not just his life-but that of so many others who need someone with whom they can relate and have access to. Tiger has a book coming out later this year, Sacking Obesity being published by Harper Collins that documents his journey. For more information, visit: http://teamtiger.org/
