| Marshall's Story |
| Marshall received a Trek Mountain bike from the foundation. |
 I was diagnosed with diabetes in my late 20’s, started taking pills. I tried jogging to lose weight but after some years I became
discouraged that I wasn’t losing enough weight. So I stopped jogging. In 2000 I had open heart triple bypass surgery. I take meds
for asthma and allergies. I used to be on insulin but I was able to lose 40lbs and get off of insulin. I plateaued at 200lbs and
been unable to break the 200lbs mark. I have tried all kinds of diets.

| Christian received a stationary bike from the foundation. |
 In February 2005, after months of refusing to go to the doctor, I was diagnosed with ESRD. Since starting hemo dialysis my
health has slowly but surly improved. I am not back 100% but dialysis has given me a certain quality of life. My twelve year
old son has been my biggest motivation for a positive future.
