Currently 61% of all adults and 25% of Australian children are overweight or obese. 

The current generation is also the first in over a century to be predicted to die at a younger age than their parents. This will be fulfilled if we dont act now to prevent unhealthy lifestyle choices. This all starts with good role models for children. 

I'm taking part in the Blackmores Half Marathon Sydney Running Festival and hoping to raise much needed funds for Obesity Awareness Australia. This September, I’m going to be sweating it out and doing my best to complete a gruelling course over the Harbour Bridge, around Sydney's CBD and finishing at the Opera House steps...

I am a budding nutritionist and personal trainer and strongly believe that increasing awareness about healthy lifestyle choices and the consequences of obesity is vital for the health of future generations and all Australians.

Obesity Prevention Australia Inc is a non profit organisation committed to reversing the obesity and inactivity epidemic that is debilitating our nation. A minimum 140 Australians die prematurely every day from obesity and metabolic syndrome related diseases (compared to three each day from road traffic accidents). These diseases are largely preventable through diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle education.

Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference to the future of all Australians! This is not the only way to help; get behind you and your families' health to encourage good nutrition and an active lifestyle to your children, family and friends.
