Member Mike B's 'message to all seniors across Australia'​

Hello members!

We received a fantastic email this week from member Mike B that we couldn't help but share.

'I would like to share with you and our fantastic members that at 63 years of age, you can still do things that you and others state is the impossible!!!'

'Last year, I joined my local surf club. This was part of my personal plan of transition into retirement, consulting in my business two days per week and looking to give back to my local community more of my time and experience!! (38 years of HR employment).'

'I only had expectations of myself to join to support the club from a tasks or projects perspective!! Well, it did not turn out like that!!'

'I somehow let the salt and ocean get into my blood! Not only have I taken on some important support tasks and club positions, but also, a year ago, completed my Surf Rescue Bronze Medallion eight-week course and now patrol alongside all age groups, allowing me to compete in Masters Branch competitions, including achieving O’ 60’s club champion.'

'So my message to all seniors across Australia ……. Age is but a number. We can achieve anything our mind wishes or wants bad enough, your body will follow.'

'Get in the club, surf and keep moving.'
