Walk From Obesity - Greenville

There is a Walk from Obesity to be held on the South Central High School Track on September 29, 2007.  I plan on walking in it and thought I'd share it with those in our area.  Here's the link... http://walkfromobesity.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=238396 Take care all. Ellen

You go girl!  Sounds like a wonderful thing....I'll have to see if there's on closer to the coastal area.  How much was it to register?  I wish you all the luck! Nancy

Thanks Nancy.  The North Carolina walks are Charlotte, Concord, Greenville, Hickory, and Pinehurst. Ellen

Registration is $25 dollars per person.

Nancy, I checked into something in Jacksonville about a month ago and they told me that nothing was planned at that time.  So if you hear of anything please let me know too, I'd love to walk for obesity! Take care!

Oh my God!!!!!!  Ellen, you look so pretty.  I am so excited to see your progress.  Everytime I see how much you have accomplished, I get a new excitement about my surgery.  Sometimes, I second guess myself and wonder if it will work.  But, I see how great you have done, and I am ready to go!  Tell me more about the walk.  I am interested, but I don't know how long I can hang.  I would be embarrassed to get started and have to quit, because I am exhausted.  Take care Ellen and I can't tell you how proud I am of your accomplishement.

Thanks for the kind words Stacy.  I believe that the walk is 3 miles.  We have "Team Passwater", set up on the site.  If you want to participate, but not actually walk, you can donate to us, or maybe even join it.  I don't think the whole team has to walk the whole time.   Registration costs $25 per person. The website is www.walkfromobesity.com.  Click on find walk in your area, then look for Greenville under the North Carolina list.  We're currently in fourth place on the team section, but that's from the registration only, lol.  In any event, it should be a fun morning.  It starts at 7:45, so I WILL need coffee! Take care. Ellen

I am also from Winterville and plan to partricipate in the walk.  Maybe I'll see you there. I am not scheduled for surgery yet, but hope to be very soon. 

I hope to see you there!  By the way, you couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. Take care. Ellen

I know.  Dr. Chapman has operated on my husband 4 times in the past 2 years (colorectal cancer)    good news is that they got all the cancer and his prognosis is great.  We have come to know and love Dr. C and his staff very well.
