Riding out of	Bloomfield, CT
Motivation for joining The Tour	I have been motivated by two things: the desire to spread the word about the benefits of healthy living and the desire to inspire people by the example that I feel I am setting for my children, family, friends and co-workers. I get the chance to not only talk the talk but I get to walk the talk and touch countless other lives with this incredible message.
Reasons for adopting an active lifestyle	Almost nine years and 65 pounds ago my second child was on his way into this world and I realized that I needed to be around for my two boys. I became active and started eating better and have maintained a healthy and active lifestyle ever since. My boys and I are thankful for that.
Why a healthy lifestyle is important	It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to set an example for your family and friends. By being healthy you exhibit confidence and become a spokesperson for a healthy lifestyle without having to say a word. Lead by example!
One piece of advice to help others live a healthier life	Set a goal, a small goal, achieve that goal and set a new goal. A bunch of little steps towards a healthy lifestyle will be a life changing experience!
