My story of why I do what I do began at age 16. At that time I was 9 months into a 26-month treatment for leukemia, 80 pounds overweight and in such bad physical condition that I literally could not walk three blocks without almost passing out. I felt like my life was completely slipping away from me.

That’s when I decided to take back control of my health through diet, exercise and living a healthier lifestyle. My body was completely transformed in 22 months.

Tampa, Florida -- We are learning more about the pilot who was killed in a crash at a local airport Sunday afternoon.

54-year-old Ki Martin died Sunday after the plane he was piloting crashed on the runway at the Tampa Executive Airport.

"As we rolled by we realized there was a serious accident," says Paul Gallizzi, a pilot of 50 years.

He says when the plane he was flying landed, they noticed something wasn't right on the runway next to them.
