That SRD was eventful for Kevin and it was there that he made up his
mind to lose his weight and take the KING honors at SRD in 2013.
Kevin went to Fall Rally in 2012 and was so excited to be part of the
“Campfire” talk at Camp You Gotta Wanna. That's where we all realized
Kevin was a born speaker and motivator. He answered most of the
audience questions and made quite a few long distance TOPS friends who
he was constantly in contact with. One special connection was with a
teen from Dracut, Paige Sullivan.
Kevin even got his neighborhood involved in his weight loss. There were
5 people that joined just from his neighborhood. He threatened all of
them that if they didn't walk enough, he would get out his bull horn, go
up on his roof and bark out orders as they walked around the
cul-de-sac.
Kevin reached his goal in October of 2012 and wanted to know from me that night if he was going to be the State King. I kinda smiled and told him he would not know about that until February or March of next year. Let's just say patience was not a virtue of Kevin’s – he wanted to know as soon as Rosie called so he programed Rosie's number in his phone so he knew exactly when Rosie called to tell him.
