G A R Y   M A R I N O
founder of the Million Calorie March


Marino’s 1,200-mile obesity awareness walk gained national attention on FOX News, ABC’s Live With Regis & Kelly, and in featured stories in People Magazine and USA Today, among others. He is also the author of Big & Tall Chronicles: Misadventures of a Lifelong Food Addict!, which was recently released nationally by Barnes & Noble Booksellers.

 

Gary Marino’s video interactive presentation is a rarely seen approach to motivating and educating the masses. He takes audiences on a unique journey through his struggle with obesity and weight loss in the 1980s and 1990s, offering an entertaining and humorous look at fad diets, weight loss gurus and the pursuit of health in the “land of plenty.” Marino’s story involves the fortitude of losing 150 pounds while in the process of planning a life-changing event, The Million Calorie March, three years before the media would make it a front page topic. His 1,200-mile cross-country walk to champion obesity awareness reached over 70 million people desperately in need of inspiration.
