Gobi March (2013) blog posts from James Terrell

In 2005 I decided to change my life. I was obese at 526 lbs. I've struggled for 7years dropping down to 280lbs as of today. My goal is to be at 200lbs on race day. I started this journey to lose weight then I found that my dream could help others. Many of my friends have experienced the pain of cancer either through themselves suffering or watching a family member fight. They are the true champions of life. My struggle is minimal to their fight. So I do this for them. Eddie,Cassie, EDog, and Suzanne and all the other who face adversity everyday in the cancer wards everywhere
