The Live Well Nebraska tour was in North Platte Thursday with a big special guest and a big check for a local educational organization. Olympic Gold Medalist and Biggest Loser participant Rulon Gardner spoke to the crowd about his own personal journey and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Live Well Nebraska, which is sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska, presented a $10,000 check to the North Platte Public Schools Foundation, who will use the funds to promote healthy lifestyle programs locally. One such program awards a bicycle to the student who most adheres to a commitment to walking and biking to school.
