Dear Friends of Morehouse School of Medicine:
As part of the inauguration activities for Morehouse School of Medicine’s sixth president, Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, we are hosting the It’s Not Your Weight, It’s Your Waist Fitness Challenge. We hope you had a chance to join us Saturday, March 1 as a number of women had their measurements taken, worked out together and learned why this challenge is so important.
Thank you for your interest in the IYW Fitness Challenge. Our measurement period has closed at this time. If you are still interested in participating, you may email 
to determine if slots remain available. We appreciate your support!
Join hundreds of women to:
* Understand the impact your waist size has on your overall health and how small changes can make a big difference
* Create a healthier lifestyle through fitness and healthy nutrition
* Attend an exciting meet and greet with fitness workshops and a free health assessment
* Receive healthy tips and motivation throughout the challenge to keep you engaged
* Receive complimentary visits to gyms, free fitness training sessions and consultations with fitness experts
* Earn amazing prizes for reaching challenge milestones
* Raise money to support the Morehouse School of Medicine scholarship fund
In addition to improving your health, each participant pledges to donate for every inch lost during the challenge. For those participants who lose 15 inches, you will become a member of the prestigious 15 Inch Club and be eligible for a grand prize to be announced in September when we celebrate the installation of Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice. The suggested donation is not required for you to be eligible for the grand prize..
So, grab nine friends and start forming your teams now! Teams have the opportunity to win spa visits and a healthy cooking demonstration with renowned chefs among other wonderful experiences. Don’t have a team? That’s ok. You will be able to connect with fantastic women committed to this journey in your area.
Best regards,
IYW Fitness Challenge Team
