Walk from Obesity

[drgn_l8e 3]

Has anyone participated in a "Walk from Obesity" walk? I just discovered the website and notice there are no events in or within resonable driving distance to Virginia for Spring of 2013 but I would like to participate in one when there is one close by. I was just wondering if it is like other walks, like breast cancer and such.

I partcipated in the Walk from Obesity in Charlotte, NC last year Oct 2012. It was the 1st time I had walked a 5K. Bariatric Surgeon's office sponsored the walk so there were lots of bariatric goodies and giveaways. There was also a healthy Protein lunch served after the walk. Nice experience for my 1st time..not sure about other cities but I would definitely do that walk again. I plan to do a few charity walks this year starting with the March of Dimes walk in my city this weekend.
