“Obesity and the devastating effects the disease has created in the United States dictates that we must create resources and come together to battler this leading cause of preventable death in the United States,” said Dr. Isaac Verbukh, the founding member and president of the Board of Directors of NOF.

Dr. Verbukh further stated that the main purpose of NOF is to fight this disease and Shannon Miller’s commitment to health, the wellbeing of women, her first-hand knowledge of fitness and approaches to a healthy lifestyle and her commitment to fighting childhood obesity will further NOF’s mission.

She is the only American to rank among the top ten all-time gymnasts and is the only female athlete to be inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame twice (individual 2006 and team 2008).
