Obesity! Such an epidemic sweeping this country! Two-Thirds, More than 190 Million Americans are obese or overweight! Obesity-related diseases are a $147 billion dollar medical burden every year.

You are a member of this support group forum becuase you or someone you know has struggled with this horrible disease! My family, just like yours, is only one of millions!   Unfortunately, I lost my father as a result of co-morbidities related to obesity! Many of you on this NC BOARD supported me during that time in 2007... you will always have a special place in my heart because of that ....

This Saturday  - I am merging forces as I walk in his memory,  for my own struggle, and all the other milions of individuals and families touched by obesity!  Please consider DONATING OR JOINING US!  Maybe, you too have lost a loved one, give in their honor or memory!  If you are in the Charlotte area, Join myself,  my family/friends, as well as the efforts of my GoodEats Gives Back friends  THIS SATURDAY, Oct 2nd as we make up TEAM CELEBRATE THE JOURNEY for the eradication of this horrible disease!

Together - WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!   ♥♥  


REGISTER OR DONATE HERE!
