Limarp Foundation

Concerned by the alarming facts about obesity in our country, and particularly interested in liberating our state of Baja California from its dangerous first place nationally in childhood and adult obesity, we have the determination to do everything necessary to stop what has become a threat of enormous dimensions.

We live in a historical moment in which there are equal numbers of obese people in the world than undernourished people. A population that is overweight or obese is so hopeless in a society and vulnerable in terms of health, which in turn directly affects the economy, productivity, and medical services in general.

In order to help people with morbid obesity requiring bariatric surgery without economic means to do so, we created the LIMARP Foundation.

GOALS

• Seek funding to help poor people suffering from being overweight or obesity.
• Through sports, information, book sales HOW MUCH DOES YOUR LIFE WEIGH? and contributions from sponsors.
• Joining forces with government.

Mission

Reintegrate people with severe obesity into society.
