This is our gift to you for keeping up with our fight against OBESITY.

Testimony:

"In 2008 I was overweight and diagnosed with borderline diabetes at the age of 13. I was told by my doctor that I had too change my eating habits and exercise daily. I was determine that I was not going too stick myself with a needle daily so I took action with the help of my mom and dad. I changed my eating and my mom walked with my 3 days a week and my dad is a wonderful African dancer and danced with me 2-3 days a week. I never knew how much a work out African dance is and it helped me melt those pounds away. Eating right and daily exercise is so important. I feel so much healthier now." --Taylor
