Join the 2008 Walk from Obesity

In September and October in cities across the United States, individuals affected by obesity, their family members and friends, healthcare professionals and many others are invited to come together and proudly walk to raise awareness of the disease of obesity, childhood obesity and morbid obesity in the annual Walk from Obesity.

In 2007, WeightWise co-sponsored the Oklahoma City area Walk from Obesity at the Oklahoma City Zoo.  The 2008 event in Oklahoma will be held in Tulsa.

Walk Date: Saturday, September 27, 2008

Walk Location: Riverwest Festival Park at 21st and Jackson in Tulsa, OK

Presented By: Oklahoma Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery

Funds generated from the event support the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Foundation (ASMBS) and its research and professional education initiatives, and the patient and general public educational and advocacy programs of the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC).
