The Walk from Obesity is the nation’s largest gathering of individuals affected by obesity. In cities all across the country, those focused on addressing obesity 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 $3.9 million to support research and educational programs on behalf of those affected by obesity.

The ASMBS Foundation and Obesity Action Coalition's Walk from Obesity was established to give hope to those needing it most.
