The winner of Season 8 The Biggest Loser is coming to Oakland County this weekend to speak at Oakland Christian Church and help feed the homeless of Pontiac. Danny Cahill lost 239 pounds of his previous 450 pounds, at the time setting a Biggest Loser record. And he will be sharing his story of success with others at the event. And, instead of eating like he previously filled his time with B.B.L. (before the Biggest Loser), he is now helping those who have no choice but to be hungry. Pontiac homeless shelters have recently been suffering from a food shortage. And so members of Oakland Christian Church ask that people who attend the event bring at least one can of food as their ticket to admission.
I think this is a great event because people will learn how to help themselves and also help others. I have read Cahill's story, and he teaches people that it's never too late to change and that our bad habits do not have a forever hold on us. We can beat our habits, just as Cahill beat his habits one-hundred pounds at a time. He learned that his weight cut his life expectancy down extremely, and that's when he saw that obesity didn't just effect himself. It also effected his family. He didn't want to leave his children without a father, and he didn't want to leave his wife as a widow. And that vision is what made him achieve his goal to take the weight off.

Oakland Christian Church is located at 5100 Adams Road in Oakland Township. The event begins at 10 a.m. on Sun. Aug. 22.
