Big Daddy Weave’s Mike Weaver wants to lose some LBs in 09. He calls it his 90in09 challenge.

Want to lose some LBs of your own. If you go to 90in09, in addition to signing on with “Team Mike” and following Weaver’s progress, fans can also join the health challenge by uploading their own photos and tracking their successes.

Participants will have access to healthy food recipes, exercise techniques and more wellness information. Individuals can further meet the 90 in ‘09 support team including renowned wellness leaders Dr. Asa Andrew, also known as “America’s Health Coach,” and Scott Reall, YMCA Restore Ministries’ founder and executive director.

 

You’ve heard of him, right? Danny Gokey, the guy on American Idol who seems to have a thousand pair of cool glasses and an amazing voice.

But there’s more to Danny than just a shot at winning American Idol.

Four weeks before his audition, Danny lost his wife. She died during heart surgery. As a worship pastor, Danny and his wife impacted many adults and children with their faith. After her death, Danny created Sophia’s Heart Foundation. This organization aims to reach out and touch the hearts of children from ages 0 through 18. The uniting factor among these children will be the need for restoration in various areas of their lives.

Sophia’s Heart Foundation has four programs:

• SHF Music and Arts Program
• Sophia L. Gokey Scholarship Fund
• Sophia’s Heart of Compassion
• SHF Medical Fund

Maybe you can donate or help out or maybe you can pray for Danny as he goes through the American Idol journey.

Check out Sophie’s Heart Foundation and see what one guy is doing with fame — Danny Gokey is trying to change*the*world.

Awesome!
