The Walk From Obesity is Saturday, September 26, 2009!

Why haven't you joined Team MM to walk with us?

Hell, if someone from California can join, you can, (okay, so she joined by accident) I see you sitting there in Southeastern Massachusetts, saying, "Oh, but I can't walk that far, I have to wash my hair that day, my cat is being neutered, I'm a hermit."  Sorry, that doesn't fly.  I want proof.  And, really, you cannot physically melt in the rain, if it does rain.  We walked in it last year, piles of us wearing sexay trash bags.

Nor does your stupid, "But I've gained 20 lbs and I really can't drive that far, because I am likely to implode."  

That's my excuse, but I am coming anyway.

Get up off the couch, close the laptop and walk with us.  If you simply refuse or in fact DO live in Oregon, then support Team MM with a donation, please?

I set the team fund raising goal at $5000, and damn it if I don't get there.  Thank you to everyone that has already donated, you guys rock!

If you have a business that wants to send along a relevant donation to our Team, please do so online.

If you would prefer to share a donation of samples/product, I'm totally willing to share it with my Team!  Last year, I gave out protein, vitamins and protein snacks!

Also, passed along from a volunteer:

"In these tough economic times not everyone can afford the $25 registration fee. Please do not let that stop you from comming to the event and having a great time. Lowell general is also doing a health fair with us that day and there will be lots of other activities. All of which are free. Also just because you are not registered does not mean you can not walk and enjoy the companionship of your fellow weight loss patients. Even if you are not a registered walker for the event there are plenty of opportunities for you to help out and support the walk. You can help by getting prizes for the drawing after the walk. We will also need help with the setup before and the tear down after the walk.

We will also need help with manning various stations and booths at the walk. So there is no excuse for any of you out there. Saturday September 26, 2009 9:00 AM Come on out to the Weight Management Center and share some good fellowship and have some fun.

PS- If any of you cannot afford the $25 registration fee but would like to make a smaller donation to the Walk from Obesity, any of the registered walkers would love to have your contribution to their efforts. Any amount is welcome $1, $2, $5, the spare change in your pocket, etc"
