For years, Jacques Aubin lived trapped in a 415-pound body, confined by fatigue, pain, and fear. A victim of morbid obesity, metabolic disorders, and paralysis caused by a rare neurological disease, he faced the harshest medical verdicts. He was told he would never walk again. He chose to run.

One pound at a time, without surgery, he shed 225 pounds. What began as an internal struggle became a surge of life. He reclaimed his breath, his mobility, his vitality. And then he ran. And ran.

From roads to trails, from half-marathons to Ironman triathlons, and ultimately becoming a global ambassador for the Tor des Géants in Italy, Jacques Aubin pushed his limits—not to beat others, but to conquer himself.

Today, as a speaker, trainer, and author, he shares his journey and message through his talks, health programs, and writings. His book For Once, Go All the Way goes beyond weight loss; it is a story of courage, discipline, love, and faith—a powerful invitation to rise, trust yourself, and turn every challenge into life-giving energy.

Jacques Aubin embodies the living proof that every human being, no matter their starting point, can be reborn, grow, and inspire others to do the same. This book is an ode to human transformation—a powerful testament to hope and perseverance.
