Talk about being driven. Diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter in her knee-a condition in which the ligament attaching to knee becomes partially detached-she just shrugged it off and continued competing. "I had to wear a brace while I was dancing," remembers Lesley, who took to the dance floor at age 4. "My knees hurt, but I just grinned and beared it." Later, doctors found an extra bone in her foot-and she wouldn't let them remove it. "They wanted to, but it would take too long to recover," she explains. Lesley, who started singing at age 8 and has appeared in commercials and music videos, gets her I-can-do-anything attitude from her mom, who raised her as a single mother after her father died when she was 3. "I want us to be a big success, so I think I push myself really hard sometimes," says the former cheerleader. But even focusing on bettering herself doesn't distract her from her groupmates. "She is so sweet and unselfish," Libby describes. "She is always there for you."
Nashville native Lesley Moore gets her can-do attitude from her mom, who single-handedly raised her daughter after the death of her husband when Lesley was only three. Lesley started singing and dancing at age four, and she appeared in many commercials and music videos before joining Jump5. "Being on stage is home to me," says Lesley. "I get a lot of energy from the audience." Until last year, Lesley attended public school, and was very active in cheerleading, basketball, gymnastics, ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop dancing. But nothing beats her experience with Jump5. "I'm having so much fun," says Lesley. "My friends and family keep me grounded." Traveling is one of the fringe benefits of being in Jump5, according to Lesley. "I love to see the sights in this country," she says. "I love to hear the different accents. Of course, I don't think I have one, but other people say I sound so country!" Most important for Lesley is sharing her enthusiasm and hopeful spirit with kids everywhere. "We want to send out a positive message," she says. "That message is: have fun, live your dreams, and never give up."
Always energetic, Lesley Moore, 16, is never at a loss for words. She loves to shop, loves EasyMac ("ready in 3 minutes... it makes me very happy"), loves to dance, and she would like to clarify that her favorite color was never orange. "It's always been pink." Like her friends in Jump5, Lesley began entertaining at a very young age. She appeared in many commercials and music videos and basically kept her mom running around like a crazy woman. Now that Lesley runs around the country on tour with Jump5, maybe her mom-"my best friend"-gets a break. Her father's death, when she was only three, left her with a gift even more important than the gifts she brings to the stage. It taught her to squeeze every minute out of each day. "One of my goals," she says, "is to live life to it's fullest. Not to rush through it, but to enjoy each and every day. To be real, be myself and make each day count."

Lesley Lesley- Grey Fortress (Celtic/Gaelic) The first name of Lesley leads you to assume considerable responsibility and to prefer to work independently, without direction or interference from others because you have very definite ideas of your own. Your mind is quick to comprehend and you can be depended upon to do any job well. Because you tend to be somewhat of a perfectionist, you might insist on doing too many things yourself instead of delegating jobs to others who might do less satisfactory work. This name does make you quite direct and straight-to-the-point. Your verbal expression does not reflect your inner thoughts and feelings, and you often wonder why people react to what you say. The influence of this name does not promote the friendship that you desire or the relaxation and naturalness you should enjoy with people. It is a name that makes you far too practical and serious-minded, and makes it difficult for you to act with spontaneity. You could suffer physically through head tension, with eye, teeth, or sinus problems, headaches, or mentally through worry.
