@nytimes: Dale Sanders, known as Grey Beard, is setting out to reclaim his record as the oldest person to hike the entire Appalachian Trail at 91. He has 12 months to complete the roughly 2,190-mile trail for it to count as a thru-hike record – and is on track to finish in time. #greybeard #Hiking #AppalachianTrail
Doing this at 91 years of age is absolutely incredible! If this isn't motivation I dont know what is.

This is a note to my fellow healthcare workers that say "She's 90 yo, she shouldn't be full code" without adjusting for previous level of function. There are many 90 yo that are highly functional and he is an outlier example of even that! So, please, modify your statements becasue it smacks of ageism without consideration of any other health factors. Sometimes it is the 50 that should be DNR because they have organs=s that are falling apart. Leverage age out of your recommendations, it is just ONE factor ina list of factors.
