Biggest Loser, Rebecca Meyer, to headline 2012 Heart to Heart
Manning Regional Healthcare Center will be holding its second annual Heart to Heart community conversation Monday, Feb. 6, at the Hausbarn Konferenz Centre in Manning. This year’s conversation, however, promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many area community members.
The 2012 Heart to Heart will focus on adult obesity, and the speaker is an Iowa woman who went public with her struggle on national television. Twenty-seven-year-old Rebecca Meyer joined the 2009 cast of The Biggest Loser, and went on to become the $100,000 at-home winner for Season 8. Since that time, she has dedicated her life to helping others “Be the Change” in overcoming similar challenges. (More)
