Reviews

Lesley is amazing with the books she has written showing her faith, love for life and God. I have loaned books to many of my friends, and they are amazed by her strength. Now that Lesley is in a wheelchair and paralyzed, she always smiles and is so positive and faithful. I know she touches many lives. (Deb) Lesley has always believed in God through all of this, but I have seen her beliefs become more real as she lives her life. She shares openly about the struggles with this disease. I can see that she relies on God. (Kathy) ALS has not changed who she is. She continues to be who she is in a body that is not cooperating. She has always been a doer and a goer. She was my Bodypump buddy for years and when an instructor was needed, she jumped at the opportunity to take on the challenge. The depth of her dedication to others, is that when she could no longer physically do the workout, she continues to get at 0:0 dark hundred and lead workouts. I call her crazy lady for that! She continues to live her best life with joy and faith at the forefront. (Deb)
