A month ago, I wrote a post about seeing fat people everywhere, and in large numbers. Originally, I was just making an observation about how large our population was and how I really had never noticed until now because I was one of the overweight masses.

As I composed that post though, my view point changed and I went from just making an observation to wanting to take an active role in helping those who struggle with their weight. And the people I feel need the most help, because they have the most opportunity to change, are the overweight children in our society.

To that end, and after much thought and consideration, I have decided to donate 25% of all the money (not that it's a lot) I make from the No More Fat Dad website to the HealthCorps non-profit organization.

I decided to donate to the HealthCorps because of their holistic approach to teaching kids about nutrition, exercise, weight loss and the emotional aspects of good health. Even though there are no HealthCorp programs here in Ohio, I'm hoping that one day they will come to my community. But in the mean time, I know I'll be helping out kids somewhere who will get a great education about living a healthy lifestyle.

Here's an excerpt from their website describing what they do...

HealthCorps® educates American youth and their families about the workings and wonders of their bodies and empowers them to become educated consumers and to make shifts in behavior that can be measured by changes in rates of obesity and physical fitness as well as mental resilience and self esteem.
