My Living Heroes

[Grant Shaw]

#4. Charlie Jabaley

Unlike the other three heroes I mentioned, Charlie is someone that I don't personally know but I still think he is an inspirational person. Charlie Jabaley spent most of his life pursuing his job and making money by creating a bus

iness in the music industry, but he was overweight. It started in high school until he reached his heaviest weight of 304 pounds. Charlie had a dream of becoming an athlete so at the age of 28, he quit his job and decided to become healthier. So far, he has lost 120 pounds. At the time of his quitting his job he also had a life threatening brain tumor. He now has a Nike sponsorship and has biked across the United States.
