Michael Bailey LOSES – Luke Peters WINS!
When we call Michael Bailey a “loser” … we mean it … with love and gratitude! 
Michael Bailey (front man of the Vic Ferrari Band) has committed to losing weight (alot of weight) with the help of Anytime Fitness personal trainer, Isabelle Wells (and Tony Bednarowski of GetYourLeanOn.com and Nature’s Pathways Magazine). He has made this commitment for his family and his own well-being. However, in the process, he has also committed to helping the family of Luke Peters, a 6-year old from Neenah, WI who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in August of 2008.
YOU can support Michael’s efforts! Leave a positive comment on this website. Keep both Michael and Luke in your thoughts and prayers. Consider making a “Pledge per Pound” (see also “You Can Help“). All proceeds will go directly to The Peters Family Benefit to help pay for Luke’s medical expenses.
We will kick-off Michael’s weight loss campaign, “LEAN on Me – Losin’ it 4 Luke,” on Friday, Sept. 11th, 2009 during the Vic Ferrari Band’s performance at SeafoodFest, an annual event hosted by Neenah-Menasha Rotary at Jefferson Park, Menasha, WI. JOIN US for Michael’s official “weigh-in” and an opportunity to meet Luke Peters, too!

Mr. Bailey you’re the best choir teacher in the WORLD!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
Hey Mr. Baliey your so nice

the the greatest choir teacher ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an awesome and inspirational story! Being a tremendous weight loss success story myself (185lbs lost and kept off for 8 years) and a friend of Tony B’s, I can assure you his concepts off health and fitness are a perfect system. Losing weight is easily one of the most trying and self-will testing feats any person can endure. I think with the inspiration of Luke, Mike can achieve his goal with ease. Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!
