It’s now less than three weeks until Walk Safely to School Day and Brumbies coach Laurie Fisher has shown his support for the initiative in a training session with local students.
The students from Duffy Primary School were delighted to train with Laurie before their big day on Friday 2 May.
Laurie, who is a local ambassador for Walk Safely to School Day, says that walking to school is a great way to get kids working towards having a healthy lifestyle.
“Kids today really need to be encouraged to get out there and be fit and active. Walking to school really puts kids on the right track to having a healthier lifestyle,” says Laurie.
"Walking to school really has a lot of advantages. It’s a fantastic way to get your heart pumping, spend time with your kids and it reduces traffic congestion around our schools,” says Laurie
Parents and carers are encouraged to take time out and walk with their children to school on Friday 2 May as part of the national initiative.
