in #CASE you missed it... Man loses 129 pounds to be able to run with his twin sons: 'I’ve given my kids the dad they deserve'
Jacob Kiper, a father of 8-year-old twin sons, plans to celebrate Father's Day this year by going on a hike with his family.
It's a Father's Day activity that Kiper, 38, never could have dreamed of doing with his sons even two years ago, when he weighed nearly 300 pounds.
"My kids just turned 8 years old, and for sadly half of their lives I gave them a dad who couldn't be physically active, who couldn't chase them, didn't have energy," said Kiper, of Owensboro, Kentucky. "I like knowing now that I've given my kids the dad they deserve."
