P.E.P. Rally Audio File (Transcript)

BACKGROUND NOISE of kids playing.

(LAILA ALI): "You know that I feel it is very important that people like myself come and promote a program such as We Can! because we have this big problem with childhood obesity in the United States, and I can't stand seeing kids walking around with ailments that they shouldn't have as young adults and I know that there's a lot of parents that just don't know what to do, so they can log onto wecan.org and get the information, get involved, and there shouldn't be anymore excuses. That's why we're here today -- to make sure they have all the information they need to better their life. "
