Walk From Obesity

August 24, 2011

EDIT: 9/16/11 – This event is come up so quickly! PLEASE leave a comment here or email me at emmie (at) skinnyemmie (dot) com if you want to join me. I am putting together a dinner for Friday 10/1, and would love to nosh and chat with anyone in the area. If you want to walk, please join my team using the link below. I will send out details and such pre-event. Yay!

I am really excited about this, so if there is an overabundance of exclamation points, I apologize in advance.

I am really honored that I am going to be the MC for the Walk from Obesity: Indianapolis event on Sunday, October 2 at Fort Harrison State Park. I will get to help welcome the walkers, present giveaways, and share my story.

If you are in the Indianapolis area, I would love if you would join me for either the 1 or 3 mile walk to help bring awareness to obesity issues. I have started my own team and would love if you would like to join. Full details about the event are here.

Can you join me? If so, leave a comment below. I would love to organize some sort of meet-up while I’m in town. To join my team, click here. You don’t have to fundraise if that’s not your cup of tea – simply come walk with me.

If you’re not in the area, but would like to contribute to the cause, you can do so here:

If I could do a cartwheel, I would (did you know I can do the splits?! Ha!). Instead for now, I’ll just say “YAY!”

    Awesome!  Wish I could be there and join your team :)   I’ll be walking with you in spirit though – that’s the Sunday of our Breast Cancer (Run for the Cure….or in my case, very fast walk for the Cure) event.

      Nothing wrong with “very fast walk for the Cure” – that’s awesome :)
