-TRUE LEMON DONATES TO OBESITY WALK-

CLEVELAND, OH (September 1, 2004) - The second annual National Walk from Obesity will be held on Saturday, September 18, 2004, in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Walk from Obesity will be hosted to raise awareness of the dangers of obesity. All money raised will be donated to the American Society for Bariatric Surgery Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that promotes obesity research and raises awareness of bariatric surgery and its position in treating the disease of severe or morbid obesity. At the end of the walk, participants will receive gift bags filled with products from donating companies, including Grand Brands who donated three piece sample packs of True Lemon®.  

"True Lemon® is a great product for this event because, when added to water, it helps people to increase their daily water consumption, which in turn, can aid in weight loss," commented Grand Brands founder and president David Schleider. "We are more than happy to help and think it's very important for people to understand the value of maintaining a healthy body weight."
