Walk to Make a Difference!

YOU can really make a difference in the lives of those touched by obesity. While advances have been made in the prevention and treatment of obesity, more remains to be done. It is estimated that nearly 93 million Americans are affected by obesity and that number is predicted to climb to 120 million in the next five years.

There is hardly a family anywhere that hasn't in some way been affected by obesity related illnesses. The Walk from Obesity combines an enjoyable event with the potential to raise significant sums for the fight against obesity.

You do not need to walk to participate - you can cheer on the walkers as well. Please take a moment and browse our Web site. The "Resources" section contains information on hosting a walk, the Walk from Obesity cookbook and much more. If you have any questions, please email us at info@walkfromobesity.com. We thank YOU for your support of the Walk from Obesity!

My favorite part of the Walk From Obesity was when one of my patients told me that she had never walked a single mile. She could not believe that she was able to complete the 5K. She was accompanied by members of her support group and they had made a pack to all walk together. They supported each other every step of the way. When one tired, they all slowed until they could keep pace again. It is quite an uplifting event. I tell my patients that you do what you can do, and I will be there to cheer you every step of the way. .

For six years, I have actively been involved in organizing a Walk, seeing firsthand how it brings together people from all walks of life; young, old, families and friends. While I, myself, have never experienced obesity, I have come to appreciate the many obstacles and challenges obese people face each and every day of their lives.
