Our Work: American Hiking Society on Capitol Hill

Jeffrey Hunter (L) meeting with US Congressman Zach Wamp

On Tuesday October 16, Jeffrey Hunter was on Capitol Hill to meet with Staffers from the offices of US Senators Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander. While there, he also met with US Congressman Zach Wamp to discuss the childhood obesity epidemic, and how hiking can address this very serious issue. Congressman Wamp recently introduced the FIT Kids Act (H.R. 3257), which seeks to integrate regular physical education into the No Child Left Behind Act.

If you find our work inspiring, please support our work by joining American Hiking Society. Thank you!
