I feel that I am at my best when I am helping others, I also try to find a way to share the hope and strength that my faith gives me, when difficulties arise in my life and in the lives of others."

Mr. Phelps encountered some health problems in 2004 and had to have coronary by-pass surgery (six bypasses to be exact), but this has not slowed him down, as a matter of fact he states; "The experience has made me stronger in my faith, and better at what I do.
