Formerly Obese Woman Completes a 200-Mile Relay Race
Jennifer Roe abandoned her healthy eating habits when she became pregnant with her son, and by the time she gave birth she had reached 255 lbs. As part of her quest to get healthy physically and mentally, she began running – and recently competed in a 200-mile relay race along with 11 other teammates, who also experienced dramatic weight loss. Roe and her teammates’ stories are the subject of the new documentary From Fat to Finish Line (available on iTunes and Amazon).
I Did It! Weight-Loss Success Stories
Print Edition: A truly inspiring transformation, Jennifer signed up for a half-marathon despite her distaste for running, and before she knew it began logging serious miles. She worked her way up steadily and has since completed many half-marathons and 5Ks. She'll soon run in a 200-miles relay race, too.
Guts to Glory
Cover Story Print Magazine: Just before 8 P.M. on January 4, 2013, a dozen sleep-deprived but elated runners staggered across the finish line of the Ragnar Relay in Key West, Florida, having just covered 197 miles over 36 hours as a team. As athletes they traded celebratory high-fives and embraces before a cheering crowd, it was hard to imagine they had once collectively weighed an additional 1,200 pounds.
It Ain’t Over: Linda Kuil’s Amazing Race — From Fat To Finish Line
This January, Linda Kuil will take on the journey of a lifetime. She’s not off to some exotic locale like Mozambique or Monaco, but to Miami, where she and 11 others will run a 200-mile relay race through the Florida Keys. And her 2 a.m. leg will take her straight through a section called Alligator Alley, where the large reptiles have been known to take a front row seat for the race, right there on the side of the road.
How Your Small Business Can Raise Money From Its Community
Long-time friends and colleagues Angela Lee and Jennifer Roe teamed to the tell the story of 12 people including Roe who lost on average 100 pounds each. The documentary was called ‘From Fat to Finish Line.’ Because the documentary went viral and they received lots of requests for resources, advice and support, Lee and Roe realized they could turn the momentum into a business. They decided to use a membership model.

If another investment cycle opens, ensure you do your due diligence. We've been given very little information on the direction of the company. The app never launched, premium memberships never launched, the Facebook community has tons of free resources that will negate the company charging for plans - and the communication with investors only comes when we complain in the investor facebook group. We've never been given any benefit other than the opportunity to run a Ragnar, and they even opened up those opportunities to non-investing tribe members. There is no program to be a member of, no jacket, no anything I've become disenchanted on a personal level. The information listed here indicates that there is a strong group of professionals working in an under-served industry. However, when challenged about the absence of communication on how investment money has been spent, was told that this is a mom-and pop operation served by people working without a paycheck. The retail store opened but that's not going to bring a great deal of money. NO innovative ways to bring in cash have been discussed. There's been no brainstorming. This is not 'owned by the tribe', as the "tribe" has very little input. I'm not as upset about the investment going bad, since it's so little money, but I'm upset about the fact that they had a very viable product and a relatively large audience and the opportunity is being squandered. I don't believe there was any nefarious misuse by the founders. $100K goes extremely fast in a blossoming business so strategy is key- and I just don't think this team has it. Unless there are some people who buy in who have a broad IT expertise, I think this company is bound to go under. Just my two cents.

FAQS
Crowdfunding
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
