Athlete Comments & Reviews
“I’m positive about life again!”
I’m really proud of myself I was able to get myself back into a place in sport where I was, and be positive about life again. At the age of 62 right now, I’m so blessed. Beyond, I mean, I get emotional.
“I participate because I still can!”
“People say; why are you doing it, and I say: “because I can!””
“The older athletes are so inspiring!”
“Athletics is really important in daily life, to see older people running, my age, and they are still competing very strongly is very encouraging.”
