- Abby Rike was a hard-working lover of life, who worked as a high school theater and debate teacher for 13 years, inspiring students to achieve their personal best. She faced an unfathomable tragedy in October 2006. She lost her beloved husband, 5 ½ year-old daughter, and 2 ½-week old son in a fatal car crash, but, with God’s grace she chose to forge ahead. Abby embarked on a very public journey of healing and wellness when she was selected to appear on the NBC’s hit reality series “The Biggest Loser.” Currently she is taking her message of hope to businesses, schools, churches, grief groups, and health and wellness communities as a motivational speaker inspiring them in the same manner she did her students. She continues her healthy lifestyle and vigor for life. Abby is a living example that even in your darkest hour, there is always hope.
