The Walk from Obesity is a nationwide fundraising event designed to bring together all who are affected by obesity to draw National attention on the need for awareness, treatment and advocacy initiatives.

    The annual Walk from Obesity event is held in September and October in cities all across the nation. Cities are designated based on responses from volunteers wishing to host a Walk in their area. The Nashville Walk will be September 19th, 2009

    Its theme is participation on foot. Participants of the Walk include:
