Testimonials

"I am a single mother of an overweight teen. At 17 years of age, she weighs over 200 lbs. Frankly, my daughter's condition is alarming, her sense of denial is profound and I feel helpless in any of my efforts to facilitate change for her. I was excited to learn that there was such an organization as yours."
--Karen B., Petaluma, CA
