Danny and Darci Cahill

Danny Cahill was overweight from ages seven to fifteen. As a sophomore in high school he desperately wanted a girlfriend so he devised a plan, stuck with it, and worked very hard losing 75 pounds over the summer. Danny played football and began his dream by joining a Rock & Roll band after righting his life! However, after high school and a few years in college, his weight steadily increased throughout the years to, at his highest point, over 450 pounds. He then put his dream on a shelf and began to take care of everything EXCEPT himself! Danny coached his son's football team and wanted to be able to do more with his young, energetic children. But he was just physically too big to be the husband and father his family deserved! One evening, his outlook on his life changed when his found his "Why". His daughter came to him at 7 years old and said "Daddy, You are my hero, and I want to be just like you! I want a belly just like yours!" What kind of role model was he being to his family?
