Success Story - Joe Bennett
My wife Judy and I decided to take a 14 day bicycle ride across the challenging Pyrenees Mountains in France - the route taken by the cyclists competing in the Tour de France.
We also saw this as an opportunity to raise funds for a cause close to our hearts - specialist schools for teenagers with behavioural problems who are not welcome at regular schools.
But before I could start training for the challenge I weighed 107.4 kg and was understandably out of condition. I went on the Tony Ferguson Program and within three months had lost 25 kg and now weigh in at 82.6 kg.
Thanks to Tony Ferguson and the supportive staff I successfully lost 25 kg and was able to start full-time training on my bike. The first month we were doing 100 km a week. Now we do 300 km a day.
My wife said it was crazy thing for us to take up at the age of 50.
We’ll be doing the same gruelling stages of the Tour de France as the competitors do but we’ll be out there some hours before them.
We’re looking forward to their fundraiser and are truly grateful for all the support and encouragement Tony Ferguson and his staff have given us.
