Obesity is a disease not a lifestyle

"As the WLSFA.ORG National Ambassador of HOPE, I have been honored to give back and help others get the medical treatment they need. Until the medical treatments for the disease of obesity are no longer stigmatized and considered elective, I will champion this cause and save lives one grant at a time. Won't you join us?" ~ Carnie WIlson
