Natural Awakenings of Bucks and Montgomery counties and the Nourished Community will present an informal meeting with Dave Conrardy, a truck driver who turned his life around with raw foods, on March 28 at 6 p.m in New Hope. In 2006, Dave Conrardy, then a 430-pound, very ill and sad trucker, saved his life with the help of raw food and his driving students, David and Judith Whiting. For the first time, the trio is bringing their stories on a national speaking tour that includes this stop in Bucks County. 

“It is my deepest desire to get the word out through information and knowledge that will inspire and guide people in achieving optimal health, vitality and longevity,” enthuses Conrardy. Throughout the process of losing 200 pounds, his body rid itself of a number of ailments and he was able to give up 18 of 19 prescription medications. He hopes to encourage others that are suffering from disease and obesity to change.

Cost for the program is $15 with pre-registration or $20 at the door. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve. Location: Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, 1635 River Road, New Hope. For more information, visit NABuxMont.com or email [email protected].
