Walk From Obesity - Manhattan - 9/17

The Walk will be held at 9:30 a.m., in Riverside Park (Riverside Drive between 83rd and 84th streets - Map and Directions). Walk Details:We begin the Walk at the large white tent. To kick off our opening ceremony, we are excited to have NY Congressman Jerrold Nadler speaking. We will then be treated to warm-up exercises courtesy of Golds Gym. The 1 and a 1/2 mile Walk will be a non-competitive journey along the beautiful waterfront path of the Hudson River. On a clear day you will see the George Washington Bridge. We will do a loop in the park and retrace our steps to end up back at the starting line tent. Please register in advance to get your T-shirt, "goodie" bag, and raffle ticket. At the Walk closing ceremony, a number of exciting prizes will be raffled off, including: jewelry, a private professional golf lesson, Target gift cards, Circle Line Cruise tickets, Golds Gym memberships and more!

MARY!!! - I am SO excited about walking in this event. I have already recruited some friends of mine from work - which are a litte skeptical about WLS. At least they are great friends - hence are willing to see and learn about bariatric surgery and MO (SMO). Thanks for the registration, prize and special activities info! Hope to see ya there! PS - I met Congressman Nadler and he is a TOTAL doll! It is so good seeing people with influence participate in an event of such great importance. ^_^ susie

Susie, That's great that you are able to participate. I'm glad that you were able to recruit some of your friends. Aren't the prizes great? I hope I will be able to walk. I am having a lbl on 8/30. Even if I can't walk, I'm planning to be there helping at a table. Take care, Mary
