Our summer issue is filled with amazing people who are using the power of empathy to serve and support others. On our cover is fitness guru Drew Manning, who intentionally gained and then lost 75 pounds so he could better understand how to help his overweight clients (“Fit to Fat to Fabulous,” p. 18). Kyle Fox, who created the nonprofit organization Follow the Flag, does everything in his power to honor the bravery and sacrifice of U.S. veterans and helps their families feel supported as they work through feelings of grief and loss. His efforts have sparked a new wave of patriotism and united communities (“To Honor, Heal, and Inspire,” p. 32). Also in this issue is a touching story about a group of Utah women who are bringing a much-needed boost to local restaurant workers (“Serving Up Kindness,” p. 14). Their acts of generosity and kindness have moved these employees to tears as they realize that people care about them and their struggles to make ends meet after an extremely tough year.
