ABOUT US
Cruising for a Cause was started by a group of friends who are
dedicated to losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle. As
fans of the hit show on NBC, "The Biggest Loser", they wondered
"How were the contestants able to lose the weight and keep it
off?” "Could they ever go on the show and be one of the lucky
ones to lose the weight with Jillian Michaels, Kim Lyons and Bob
Harper as their trainers?" They needed someone who could show
them the proper way to order when eating out, how to prepare
healthy meals at home, and how to confront the things that were
holding them back emotionally. Thousands of people audition for
the show and are not able to make it. They brainstormed, and
came up with an idea. Why not get a group of past Biggest Loser
contestants who had success on the show together to teach us and
others what they learned and also give back to the community.
From there, Cruising For A Cause was born. We are so excited to
bring together this cruise as a learning tool and a time for fun
for everyone.
While watching Season 6 of the Biggest Loser, their hearts were
touched by a couple, Phil and Amy Parham, whose son has Autism.
We have chosen to raise money for the Victory Junction Camp in
Randleman, NC. Victory Junction helps children experience a week
of forgetting about their various illnesses and disabilities and
give them a chance to have a great time. The camp has several
different activities for the children to do like horseback
riding, bowling and even a movie theater. We feel honored and
blessed to be supporting this worthwhile cause.
