\nWhat Happened?\nIn 2010 Les weighed 510 lbs. He was having difficulty breathing, and when he couldn't take 6 steps without being out of breath, he went to the hospital.

\nReligious Beliefs
\nLes grew up attending a Christian school. He found organized religion turned him off a little bit towards attending religiously so to speak. When he walked out of the hospital with a clean bill of health he thanked God.
\nRebuilding\nHe started walking little by little with his nephews' support. He felt uneasy until he had seen the doctor and took it easy. Once he was given the clean bill of health, he increased the distance and put in a lot of effort.
\nHe continued to up the goals, and try and achieve them to make himself feel good. Now he focuses on strength training.
\nHis most recent yearly check-up the doctor could not find anything he needs to work on!!!! He has lost 300+ lbs.
\nHe began public speaking and motivating others by sharing his story.
\nBooks and Music\nAmy Grant's music got him through his tough times. He was able to meet with her backstage to share his story. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/artist/amy-grant/id94363
