CHRIAS Is Stepping Up to the Challenge

The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Foundation (ASMBS) has invited the Christiana Institute of Advanced Technology (CHRIAS) to join them in raising awareness and funds to support advanced obesity research, professional education, and access to care initiatives.

Beginning October 31st, ASMBS will be hosting a 3-day event that challenges people to get up and move more. ASMBS wants people to focus more on their physical activity; increasing their step count by 500 steps per day. CHRIAS wants you to take part in this challenge to emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle and to help in the fight against obesity!

For this challenge, all you will need is a pedometer, body-monitoring device, or any other means of tracking your steps (such as free iPhone or Android apps).
