Tszyu visited Windsor Wolves Leagues Club on Friday afternoon after being appointed ambassador of the new charity, STOP, or, Solutions to Obesity Problems.

The Hawkesbury was a prime candidate for the organisation to spend some time with after statistics were disclosed by NSW Health last year revealing the Hawkesbury containing the most overweight adults in the State. STOP has mustered international support from GNLD, a global health and nutrition company operating in 53 countries, and Team Tszyu, a global support team for people with health and obesity problems.

Members of the Hawkesbury's sporting community took part in the presentation by Tszyu, inlcuding Windsor Wolves president Dick Prior.

Members of the Under 13 Windsor Wolves side were also present on the day and were able to meet with the boxing champion and have their questions answered on nutritional information. STOP is currently mustering the support of corporate sponsors and government bodies to join the battle against obesity, which is generally recognised as one of Australia's most serious health problems, costing government $21 billion a year.

The registered, national, non-profit organisation says it is "dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children and adults who seek optimum health and freedom from obesity".

STOP says its objective is to empower overweight people through science, education, training, personal support, and time-proven methods for health and success.

The charity says it will form strategic partnerships with corporations which supply products and services to combat obesity, as well as with schools and government bodies.

Figures released in the Chief Health Officer's Report in 2008 claimed that 58.2 per cent of Hawkesbury adults were overweight or obese.
