In "Our" News........

So read all about it!!!!
There is going to be the First "Big Long Island Million Pound Challenge" launched this Tuesday March 2, at the Personal Training Institute located at 50 Glen Cove Road, Greenvale at 8 pm. Alex Lubarsky of the NAVEL EXPO has orchestrated the first annual event to help Long Islanders drop pounds, get healthy and help a cause "Strength for Life." Alex has invited Dr. Linchitz and John Basedow to be the first of many presenters to help Long Islanders get on the right track towards health and wellness. We are ecstatic to be chosen as the recipient of any funds raised in a way that "everyone wins".

"Long Island, like the rest of the country is getting bigger, heavier or perhaps, fatter, to put it bluntly. The fat, with its aesthetic unsightliness creates a fertile environment for chronic health issues like diabetes, cancer, heart disease and just about every other illness under the disease spectrum.
Exercise, is known as a powerful ally in strengthening the lives of those trying to recover from cancer, our challenge to Long Island, our challenge to you: reach your desired goal weight as you help raise money that will provide a free exercise program for those in the battle of their life. Each pound of unhealthy fat you lose, will improve another human being’s chances of winning. You lose fat, people with cancer re-build strength, everyone is inspired … we, all of us, win!

Register at your local Personal Training Institute (PTI), set your goal
weight, take a ‘before’ picture and invite your friends to sponsor you
at $1 per pound. That’s all!

Information about this event can be found at the Navel Expo link on this page.

Side bar:

Anyone out there have any connections to car/van rentals? The Ragnar Relay, May 14-15 needs two 15 person vans for the long haul from Woodstock to the Bronx. We have a team of 12 willing participants that will run for Strength for Life to raise funds - and a donation/great discount on these rentals would help us tremendously.
Just putting it out there - you never know!!!
