Arnold took on the challenge of raising awareness and support for First 1,000 Days Suncoast, an initiative that helps families during pregnancy and through their child’s first 1,000 days of life, when 80 percent of a child's brain development occurs. The initiative is led by his wife, Chelsea Arnold, who serves as its director.
