seeder Posted December 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) "This is a repost of a video that a friend of mine made (not seeders friend, this is copied) - He posted it to a car website to inspire the members there. I wanted others to see the video so that they too could be inspired. For all those wondering, Julia is still alive and Roger continues to run for her sake. So this isnt a video about sadness, it one of the human spirit and what it can accomplish.* In 2008, Roger set out on a quest to lose weight, get healthy and eventually run in the Boston Marathon. But not just for himself, for his niece who was born with Cystic Fibrosis. His goal was to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis, along with raising money for research into the treatment and cure of this heartbreaking disease. This video highlights his incredible journey at age 47, from obesity to accomplished marathon runner. Roger is a humble man, and continues to run marathons to this day to raise money for CF research. He works tirelessly to spread the message that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to do. On November 6, 2011 Roger ran the New York City Marathon. It was his 12th marathon in the 2.5 years since he ran the 2009 Boston Marathon" Just dont cry pls, youre sposed to get inspired, this guy changed his life and figure in 9 months... whats your resolutions??

Beckys_Mom Posted December 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) WOW that was simply amazing.. It was worth the watch.. When I saw him at first, it looked as he couldn't run the length of himself, but after 9 months he was not only thin but fitter than ever...What a superb transformation and all for a great cause... I am glad I watched that short video.. I sometimes would watch a tv show called - A year to save my life.. They feature really big obese people, who have a trainer to help them shed the pounds.. But I tell you, with what I come to watch on that show, in a 12 month period, I have not seen any of them shed the weight that guy you mention did..He done all that in just 9 months, that's amazing..He also looks a lot younger too Thanks for sharing the video..I'll post it on my face book Edited December 28, 2012 by Beckys_Mom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
