It's time!
The Walk from Obesity was established to give hope to those needing it most. Walkers raise money by asking friends, family and co-workers to sponsor them. In addition to walker income, funds are raised through sponsorship, matching gifts, corporate contributions and other fundraising activities.
In 2008, the Walk raised more than $850,000 to support the ASMBS Foundation and its research and professional education initiatives, and the patient and general public educational and advocacy programs of the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC). To date, the Walk has provided nearly 3.2 million dollars in overall support.
The funds raised through this event support the ASMBS Foundation and the Obesity Action Coalition's independent educational missions and fund programs focused on prevention, research, education and advocacy for all those affected by obesity.

A few people didn't register at all ...if anyone doesn't have the money don't think you can't come. I'm pretty sure other things, open to all, will be set up like a health fair type thing. But if you can register and/or donate please do so :)
