Lose-A-Thon

 

Join us for our 3rd Annual Lose-A-Thon, which runs from January through PWS Awareness Month of May 2008. Inspired by our loved ones and friends with PWS and their daily determination to maintain healthy eating and fitness routines, Lose-A-Thon was created as a motivator to lose weight and lead a healthier life. At the same time, Lose-A-Thon raises funds for PWSA (USA) to promote research and provide resources and support for every person affected by PWS.  
 


How It Works

You choose your own fitness and weight loss goals and methods. Then send letters to your closest family and friends telling them what you plan to do and ask them to sponsor you. It’s easy to get started because PWSA (USA) has done most of the work for you, like creating a sample letter you can use and providing exciting new features to help you along the way.
