Free 1 year membership to Obesity Action Coalition
I received this offer in my email today to pass on to my support group members. I'm a member and have been able to receive some helpful and educational information from them. I thought I would pass on the offer to all of you too. Here is the information:
Quote:
The Mission of the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) is to elevate and empower those affected by obesity through education, advocacy, and support.
The OAC aims to educate patients, family members, and the public about obesity and morbid obesity. In addition, the OAC will increase obesity education, work to improve access to medical treatments for obese patients, advocate for safe and effective treatments, and strive to eliminate the negative stigma associated with all types of obesity.
By building a coalition of members ranging from patients and their family members to healthcare professionals, the OAC and its members will focus national attention on obesity; organize all those concerned as advocates for action, advances, and change; and visibly affect and impact the healthcare community and the public. The OAC is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) public charity.

The ASBS Foundation and the OAC proudly bring you the Walk from Obesity, the nation’s largest gathering of individuals affected by obesity. In cities all across the country, obesity sufferers and survivors alike will join forces and walk to raise money for research, education, prevention, and treatment of obesity. To date, the Walk from Obesity has raised more than $1.6 million to support research and educational programs on behalf of those affected by obesity.

I hope some of you take advantage of this. I think it is worth it.
