'Biggest Loser' winner, others address 2,500 at Men's Rally today

Not long ago, Danny Cahill was gaining a tremendous amount of weight while losing a tremendous amount of hope.

Thanks largely to an overhaul in his attitude and beliefs, however, the opposite is now true.

“I was resigned to die early and leave my wife and kids, but that was not in God’s plan,” Cahill told his audience during Saturday’s third annual Men’s Rally in the Valley gathering at the Covelli Centre.

Cahill was one of six motivational speakers to address an estimated 2,500 people of all ages and faiths at the seven-hour nondenominational event, themed “Leaving a Legacy.” The rally was similar to events staged by Promise Keepers, an international conservative nonprofit Christian organization dedicated to helping men grow spiritually and devote themselves to God.
