Finally Something for Cleveland!

I have long wondered why, although Cleveland, OH is continuously in the bottom rankings for many issues, no celebrity does a show here. We are literally a blank canvas! We have been ranked as one of the fattest cities in the U.S., a city with one of the worst school districts in the country, a city with one of the highest unemployment rates; we experience the “Brain Drain” because our educated youth settle elsewhere after college. And while Extreme Home Makeover did come here recently to make over a home for a deserving Cleveland family, we need more! We need Jamie Oliver to fix our schools’ food; we need Geoffrey Canada to help get our schools back on track, we need lucrative industry to want to have a designated place here (IT, banking, fashion, something!) and boost our economy.

Well, now we have someone; we have Dr. James Levine! A Mayo Clinic professor, Dr. Levine has a mission and a plan. Dr. Levine wants to fight obesity right here in Cleveland. He wants to give Clevelanders the tools to do it themselves. GKM wishes Dr. Levine the best of luck! We will be tracking his project on the site, and we will find a way to help!

Read about his efforts and see how YOU can get involved!
