the campaign is encouraged to tag a friend to join in the social
movement, as sharing the experience of health and wellness can have
a powerful and positive ripple effect.

Day—is such an important element of wellness and has been one of
the most powerful parts of the WW experience since its founding.
This Saturday, we will bring our community together around the
globe to inspire everyone to begin on their own journey, with one
small action to start," said Mindy
Grossman, President and CEO of WW.
