30 Aquaholics Weather 100 Year Storm. On Paddleboards
Manage episode 364763514 series 3010130
A father-daughter team share their breathtaking tale of overcoming barriers and aging stereotypes that embody Aging Unbound, the theme for Older Americans Month 2023.
Dr. Tom Kilroy is the father of Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging staff and podcast sponsor Melissa Marts. These two adventurers and aquaholics (that’s right, not alcoholics) tell the story of how they became self-supporting, multi-day stand up paddleboard pros and lived through the Moab storm of the century on the Green River.
Aging Unbound challenges all of us to question the stereotypes of age and share stories of how we push past our own barriers and boundaries to live a rich, rewarding life. As you listen, think about the labels and stereotypes you have experienced and what barriers you are pushing past.
