On Saturday, October 14, 2017, I will be participating in the second annual Strides for Obesity event in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This event is about raising awareness to help change the stigma around obesity with a mission of raising funds towards the development of a new dedicated multidisciplinary bariatric clinic ultimately improving access, wait times and care for patients.

By supporting my fundraising efforts, you will be helping the thousands of Nova Scotian’s that are living with obesity; 100% of the funds raised will be used to support the Halifax Obesity Network. That’s why I am reaching out to you today. Please help me reach my goal. Your support is key in reaching this goal to help the achievement of this mission possible.

Obesity is more than just what you eat and how much you move. Obesity is a complex medical condition, similar to diabetes or high blood pressure, and is now recognized by the Canadian Medical Association as a chronic disease. Together, with your support, Strides for Obesity will continue the conversation about obesity and its impact on health and will help make it possible for more patients in Nova Scotia to receive the obesity treatment they need.

Thank you for your support!
