Walk From Obesity--NY & hint to MaryEllen

The NYC Walk From Obesity is September 13, 2009.

I would LOVE to have other OH'ers join the walk this year, maybe some of those Long Island groups can come in? (Hint directed to MaryEllen)

Here's the link to sign up & help raise money for research or come out that day and join in--the goodie bags are AMAZING!!  Kids walk for free!!

Perhaps we could have an OH lunch after the walk?

This sounds great!  I went to the website to join, but it asked if I wanted to join a team.  Do you already have a team set up?  If so, what is your team name?

t.

I am with Team Lenox Hill, please feel free to join our team (we have the coolest team t-shirts ever and if your on our team you will get one) or you can sign up on your own.

I would LOVE to have you be a Lenox Hill team mate!!

 I most certainly will join your team.  I'm really looking forward to it!

Hiya! This sounds great! I will pass it along to Maryellen, unless she sees this before I see her tonight, hehe

How long is the walk? And, just so I have it right...it's $30 each person to sign up, right? And, is the team required to get pledges? Or is each person? Or do you just do it if you want to?

Thanks!

Heather =)

Thanks Heather!
The walk is $25 per person it's an extra $5 if you sign up the morning of the walk.
You aren't required to get pledges but if you would like to help raise more money your more than welcome to get pledges and you can email friends/family from the website.
The walk is about 2 miles (if I remember correctly). You don't need to be on a team but if you would like to please feel join me on Team Lenox Hill.
 
Hope you'll join us!!

Thanks for the info! It sounds great! I am a member of Maryellen's group, so I will see if she's into it. =) I also have my own group, so I will poass it along to them! Sounds great!

Thanks again!

It's fun.  I've been going since '06 with team Weill Cornell.  Hope to do it again this year.

Hopefully I can go. Not sure yet, only because I may be going for my surgery around that time.  I go Monday to sign my consent, so depending how quickly I get approved, I'm not sure if I'll be up and running by then.  I also noticed that one of the presenters was my surgeon, Dr. Ferzli.
