        2012 looks to be a great year!  Danny is already being booked at companies and venues around the United States and even overseas!

   The first place you'll see him is in People Magazine in the upcoming "Half Their Size" issue!  Watch for him and a few fellow Biggest Losers just after Christmas on the newsstands!

   During 2011, Danny spoke and participated in events for many companies including Gorton's Inc., Melton Truck Lines, Chick-fil-A, and more!  Perhaps the most intense was with the Williams Company, a global energy company based in the United States (NYSE:WMB).  They are a self-insured company that decided to bring Danny on board to help with their Williams Way to Wellness campaign.  During 2011, participation in the campaign DOUBLED compared to participation before Danny's involvement!  Many even ran the Route 66 Marathon's 5K and 1/2 Marathon with Danny and a few even ran the full marathon!  Talk about inspiring others to make a change!

   Danny travels to las Vegas, NV to speak at the Autodesk University conference on November 28th!  He is excited to spread his motivation to those in need of a change.

  Then he is travelling to Atlanta, GA to speak at the Chick-fil-A Home office!  He can only hope they will give him a free Char-Grilled Chicken Sandwich while he's there!  Then he will be attending a seminar at WinShape in Rome, GA.  He is excited to return to the Berry College campus!

  Danny will be finishing up the Williams Way to Wellness on December 7th, where he will bring to light the changes that many of the Williams Company's employees have made!  Danny is proud that his participation in the Williams Company's health and wellness program has seen great results!  Many of the employees ran a 5K, 1/2 Marathon, and a Marathon for the first time!  When Danny challenged them to "do something you have never done before,"  he never thought it would have this effect!  So many have improved their lives and health with Danny's participation!  He looks forward to working with many more companies and their Health and Wellness Programs in 2012, namely The Bama Companies and others!

  Danny will be performing at The Bridge church in Bixby, Oklahoma in the Christmas Program on December 10 and 11!  He is excited to be singing and playing with his old friends in the program!  Go to www.thebridgebixby.com for more info!

   It all began early in the year when The Williams Company hired Danny to speak at several locations nationwide to their employees.  The Williams Way to Wellness began in early 2011 and many of those he spoke to at Williams will be running with him in the Route 66 Marathon!  Although Danny has run 2 full marathons since losing 239 pounds on The Biggest Loser and becoming the Biggest Loser EVER in the history of the show during the shortest season, this time he is focusing on the 5K and the ½ Marathon to be able to share it with those that have never run anything in their lives!

   He challenged the employees to “Lose their Quit” and set a goal to do something they never had done before.  For many, they had never done a 5K and for those who have he mentioned the ½ Marathon.  He then pledged to train himself for the ½ marathon and run them alongside the employees despite his intense travel schedule.  “I figured that with their lives…work schedules, family, and everyday things people have to deal with…if I could dedicate myself to train for the ½ marathon despite having to fly over 100 flights that it might speak to them and allow them to find a way to train themselves.”

   2 1/2 years ago when I was 458 pounds I would look in the mirror wondering how it all happened.  I used to cry and say to myself, “What is wrong with you?!”  I’d regret letting myself go, failing my dreams and giving up.  Then a turning point happened.

   One night walking through the house I noticed my wife Darci watching a show.  There were obese people competing in a challenge.  They were struggling and slow and I remember saying to myself, “What the heck is this!? Why are they making fun of fat people!?”  At first, when I didn’t know what the show was about, I was offended.  Then, as I watched the show I saw it for what it really was; it was a wakeup call.

   On Saturday, November 19^th in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Danny Cahill of the Biggest Loser will be running the 5K Race in the Williams Route 66 Marathon (http://route66marathon.com/) and on Sunday, November 20^th he will also be running the ½ Marathon!  Sign up today and join Danny on a quest to “start again!”  After completing one race, Danny says you need to start another!  The William Route 66 Marathon is his next race!

    If you’ve never run a 5K or ½ Marathon, Danny encourages you to sign up!  Begin your training and accomplish something you never have before!  If you’ve run them before, come out and help Danny encourage those who haven’t!
