Walkers

On a beautiful Sunday morning the NYC Walk from Obesity took place. The Walk was a two mile-course around the gorgeous Riverside Park on the west side of Manhattan, presented by Lennox Hill Hospital with five other local hospitals sponsoring.

Individuals paid a registration fee to participate and funds raised from the Walks support the ASMBS Foundation and its research and professional education initiatives and also support the general public educational and advocacy programs of the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC). This nationwide fundraiser is to educate the public and healthcare professionals about effective treatments and help reduce disability, death and discrimination of people who are obese.
Guest speakers for the event included Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) Chairperson, Barbara Thompson and author, Katie Jay. Activities at the event included a warmup, led by a fitness team, yoga for a cool down, raffles and giveaways that included: personal training sessions, gym memberships, spa treatments, heart rate monitors, protein gift bags and more!
