Walk From Obesity



Here's some background information for the upcoming Walk From Obesity being held at the Vidant Wellness Center in Greenville NC on 10/27/12 at 9:00am. Registration starts at 8:30am

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!
