See actual footage of the explosion that threw Kevin over 300 feet through the air and onto a concrete parking lot. With collapsed lungs and massive internal and external injuries, doctors did not expect him to live. See Kevin as he rises from tragedy to triumph to reach the pinnacle of athletic excellence in the Olympic stadium. He works and consults with presidents and leaders of our country. Kevin is now exploding across America with the Kevin Saunders Health & Fitness Tour of America. Kevin's purpose is to push his wheelchair through key portions of all 50 states to educate, motivate and inspire the people of America about the importance of proper fitness and nutrition and how to personally take action and take personal responsibility for making healthy lifestyle choices. Kevin will provide this information to people of all ages, in a concise and easy to understand manner. With $122 billion being spent last year on obesity related diseases and billions more being lost in productivity in our economy, it is essential to the USA to take action. The Imshapingup.com website will also serve as a follow up tool to help Americans of all ages learn and understand exercise and nutrition in an easy, concise manner in which Kevin can help everyone maintain or reach their personal fitness goals. By sharing important information in regards to proper fitness goals, Kevin will be educating, motivating, inspiring and providing incentives to take action. Kevin will leave all who see and hear him speak feeling like: "There's Always A Way" and a new attitude of "Never give up!"

"I'm doing this to help motivate, educate and inspire the American people to create lasting health and fitness habits and through fitness and health exercise and education healthier lives."
The Health and Fitness Tour of America is a non-profit foundation and all profits go to the American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association and the YMCA.

More than 300,000 Americans will die this year due to obesity-related disease. Our Nation's children have been deemed the “World's Fattest Kids” and skyrocketing health-care costs direct and indirect of over 122 billion dollars a year are debilitating Corporate America. Now more than ever we need our community members to get involved in health and fitness exercise and education for all their citizens.
