Read this article about an amazing woman, Jennifer Branson, who I had the opportunity to meet and spend some time with when volunteering at a recent Spartan Beast.... she is an inspiration if there ever was one. Great heart and soul too!

(Intro Snippet): In 2007, I had a life altering moment. At 450lbs., I had just lost my job, living in a two bedroom apartment that I could not afford on my own. I was in my closet of a washroom, and was having some difficulties with my mobility. Faced with this situation I asked myself two questions. The first question I asked myself was; who was going to help me? The list was short. The second question I asked myself was if I wanted to live or die, and I cried. (I still do when I think about it).
