The lowdown: A chubby 10-year-old boy who struggles with ADHD and whose father gave up on healthy eating after cancer, inspires his family to regain control of their weight for his sake.
His downfall: Connor adores and emulates his dad, Mike, who is a long distance truck driver. After getting cancer, Mike decided that he’d eat whatever he desired, and now he is recovered he still does just that, and weighs in at more than 350 pounds. Father and son bonding happens around unhealthy food, and Connor is picking up all his dad’s bad eating habits.  Connor's mom, Jenny, tries to get the family to eat healthily, but 10 year old Connor takes his lead more from his father than his mom, and like any youngster will happily break the rules if an adult in authority allows him to. The family decides to take on a stand up paddling race – a new and exciting sport that requires core strength and stamina.  This exciting new sport is just the ticket for Connor, but maybe not the best fit for his 350+ pound father.
Fitness Goal: Stand-up paddling on Kalamalka Lake
