Life Unpaused: How Senior Athletes Stay in the Game

We are at the National Senior Games, the largest multi-sport qualifying event in the world — bigger than the Olympics! More than 12,000 athletes competed in Des Moines, Iowa, redefining what’s possible for us as we age. These athletes are striving to live longer and healthier lives not only through diet and exercise, but also by taking an active role in their health, which starts with educating themselves about infections like RSV. Their powerful stories will inspire you to defy expectations, reclaim your health, and get moving.
