As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that age often brings health challenges. I manage thyroid issues, diabetes, and high cholesterol, and heart disease runs in my family. At 53, I know I still have many years ahead and want to enjoy them with my wife, daughter, and two young granddaughters. Eating better and staying active supports that goal—and my clothes fit again, along with my confidence.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?Walking has become my favorite—and most underrated—workout. I average about 20 miles a week. As a 2nd grade teacher, I stay moving in the classroom and during recess, even doing pull-ups on the playground (the kids love it and join in!). As a part-time swim instructor, I swim laps between lessons year-round. I also lift weights to stay strong, defined, and motivated.
What would you do with $20,000?If awarded $20K, I would pay down a portion of my student loans and invest in meaningful family time. My wife and I would visit our daughter and granddaughters in Colorado and take a Disney cruise together. I’d also build a home gym with a state-of-the-art treadmill and free weights so I can stay active year-round—even through Pennsylvania winters.
