Abby has my vote!

If any of you are into "The Biggest Loser" this year and have seen any of the contestants or watched them on their journey to self discovery, you will have seen this lady.

Her name is Abby and like all the contestants on the show, she is overweight. What makes her different that all the other contestants on the show is that she has suffered the most unimaginable tradegy in her life.
2 years ago she lost her entire family. Her husband, her beautiful red headed 5 year old daughter and a gorgeous infant son. They all died in a car crash caused by get hit by another driver who was driving too fast.
Her story came up last night on the show and it was absolutely gut wrenching watching this poor woman relive what had to be the most horrible day in her life.
I just wanted to post about this remarkable woman who not only survived that but came on the show with determination to reclaim her life.
In last nights episode, her team members were called to vote one of their own off. This amazing woman sacrificed her chance to win the prize and asked them to send her home.
2nd prize is the biggest loser who can do it at home and my vote is for this amazing selfless woman.
I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have your entire family wiped out in an instant, my hat is off to this woman who has managed to come back from that and is now an inspirational speaker to young kids and teachers.
