50 million pound project
24th May 2007
Just came across a great initiative which was launched recently in the US.
Dr Ian Smith is leading a national programme to encourage people to drop pounds. He is particularly concerned with obesity among the US's African-American population. With the help of some celebrities, he's launched the 50 million pound challenge - people can join online at 50millionpounds.com to share the experience of shedding pounds and getting fit. The goal is for the collective weight loss of participants to reach 50 million pounds. Right now, they're closing in on 100,000 pounds.
To find out more, visit www.50millionpounds.com.
If there are similar initiatives going on in other countries, please blog about them or use the showcase channel to highlight the work you're doing.
If enough people take action, we can definitely make a difference.
