Tanya Fergus, principal at Fairhaven School appreciated Zizzo's appearance. "It was wonderful." she explained. "He read his favorite childhood story and then answered questions and signed autographs."

"I had a lot of fun," Zizzo added. "Kids ask the craziest questions. Since they knew I raced, they wanted to know if I was faster than a cheetah - or if I could run fast. It was fun for me to get away from my regular routine and make a little difference for those kids just for a day."
