Lovely story, Brian. I love Ann's attitude.

As I read this I was reminded of two women, one who lives in Sydney and one in Hawaii, from memory.

Heather Lee started fast walking when she was in her seventies, and after her husband died. He was the one to have urged her to get involved.

Heather is 95 and competing and winning in races, beating women far younger than she is.

The other one is 92

Age truly is a number for some.
