DETROIT WALK FROM OBESITY MARATHON
Hello Lula,
I am the event leader for the ASBS Walk From Obesity in Metro Detroit. This is a walk and not a marathon. Is there a marathon in the area I am unaware of for obesity or is this the walk you are referring to? Here is my last posting for the event from September 2.
Hope to clear up any confusion before rumors start flying that there is a walk and a marathon on metro detroit and maybe there isn't.
Thanks Tawnya Detherage
I felt the need to post this again so that everyone is aware of the benefits of pre registering for this event.
If you register before the day of the event you are guaranteed to get the size shirt you ordered. If you show up the day of event to register you may end up with what is left which may not be your size. Also registering early gives us an idea of how much product to ask from our sponsors. I want to make sure all registered walkers get enough in their goody bags!
SO ONCE AGAIN...... The Center for Comprehensive Weight Loss at St. John Oakland Hospital in Madison Heights is teaming up with ASBS (American Society for Bariatric Surgery) Foundation to sponsor this year's Metro Detroit "Walk from Obesity" event.
We invite you; surgeons, staff, patients, support groups, and family members to join us in this special walk. This nationwide non-competitive walking event will bring together participants of all ages throughout the community. The walk is open to anyone who wants to participate such as weight loss surgery patients, those living with obesity, the family and friends of those affected by the disease of obesity, healthcare professionals, and other members of local communities.
To participate in this event you can register on www.walkfromobesity.com. Participants collect pledges that are handed in the day of the walk or they can make pledges and donations under a walkers name on the secure website provided.
Thank you for your support,
Tawnya Detherage
