OT's Ireland's Million Pound Challenge is attempting to inspire the Irish nation to lose 1 million pound in 1 year thus helping to reverse current trends and statistics.
When it comes to the groups the idea is that they can register online and they will be able to track their contribution to the million pounds.
Mick Cornett Mayor of Oklahoma City is going to officially launch the campaign. In 2007 as a result of hearing that his city was one of the fattest in the US he decided to take action and put the entire city on a diet.The town's citizens reached the million pound mark in January 2012, four years after they had started their challenge.
