Ten brave volunteers are needed to gain five pounds in three weeks! No, you won't be eating chocolate cake all day, but you can share the load of a neighbor who is legally blind and needs a little bit of help with the day to day tasks we take for granted. If you can carry the weight, this is your chance to gain 5 pounds and still feel great! All it takes is three short weeks from application to connection and you too can pack on the pounds in a truly heart-healthy way!
