Michael Phelps Glides Through Atlanta

 

Phelps Glides Through Busy Day In Atlanta

 
  Phelps and MyClubMyLife reporter Ayana Wade listen as a Club youth asks Phelps a question.

Michael Phelps, 14-time Olympic gold medalist, took time out of his busy schedule to talk with youth at the Warren/Holyfield Boys & Girls Club, a unit of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta, on Sept. 24. His support of Clubs extends beyond Georgia -- Phelps has been touring Clubs across the country to encourage youth to be active and inspire them to stay in school.

At the Atlanta Club, Phelps helped kids with their homework, shook hands with excited Club fans and fielded tough interview questions from MyClubMyLife reporter Ayana Wade. Following the Warren/Holyfield BGC visit, Phelps dropped by Boys & Girls Clubs of America's national headquarters, where his moving message to the cheering crowd was, "It's all about the kids."

Phelps shook hands and shared a joke with BGCA President and CEO Roxanne Spillett and signed his name on his picture from BGCA's 2003 "Where's Your Card?" marketing campaign.
