Over the summer the Style Network came out with a show called "Too Fat for 15: Fighting Back". In this show there was a girl named Tanisha Mitchell, 17 years old, and weighed in about 476lbs. She was one of the biggest girls there, but also one of the most optomistic. Every year they give the kids a choice of doing a 5K run/walk, and Tanisha decided she wanted to do it this year. BUT the onsite healthcare provider over ruled her wish to walk, and told her she could not do it. This made me, and Tanisha's counsilour extremely upset. I realize that there are health risks with a girl this big, but to not even give her the chance to try broke my heart and broke hers too. I want to know what you think.
I couldn't find a clip, but its on episode 4 if your interested.
Great use of a current event. Did you try youtube? And please be sure to go back and spell check - lots of mistakes in this one. In general looks like you are able to post pictures and links - so keep up the good use of technology!
