You know all about Shaq's starring role on the Miami Heat basketball team! But what do you know about his other roles in life?

Shaq is a certified law enforcement officer who has devoted countless hours of training and investigation to track down child predators over the Internet. Shaq is a businessman who, in the 1990's, spearheaded the creation of an affordable athletic shoe endorsed by a superstar. His Dunkman brand shoes sold more than six million pairs last year, and the price of his shoes remains less than $50. Shaq is also a philanthropist who has contributed to many causes and charitable organizations around the country, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, among others. 

In 2006, Shaq turned his attention to childhood obesity. And this year, he chose six overweight kids and committed to helping them lose weight, get healthy, and change their lives. The result is the TV show Shaq's Big Challenge and the online program Shaq's Family Challenge!

The goal of Shaq's show is to cast light on the looming health crisis among America's children. They risk becoming the first generation of kids to die at a younger age than their parents — from preventable, weight-related causes. The goal of the online program is to help you help them.

In addition to all the roles he plays, the causes he promotes, and the charities he's made commitments to — Shaq is committed to helping your family. So he used his team-playing skills and pulled together a top team of experts in the fields of nutrition, cooking, weight loss, and fitness. With the help of these experts, he developed  Shaq's Family Challenge!  

Shaq and his team have gathered all the tools, recipes, and information you need to help your family lose weight and get healthy.  Accept Shaq's Challenge!
