By Leave a Comment

As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither. Harold Schlumberg is such a person: THIS IS QUOTED FROM HAROLD: "I've often been asked, 'What do you do now that you're retired?' "Well...I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and whiskey into urine.

Shane Bitney Crone

My name is Shane Bitney Crone.  Just over a month ago, I posted a video on YouTube entitled, “It Could Happen to You.” You might have seen it.  It was about the accidental death of my life partner, Tom Bridegroom, and more importantly what happened in the aftermath because we weren’t married (even though that was our dream).   http://youtu.be/pR9gyloyOjM Overwhelming response!  Over 2.7 million people have watched my video and more than 20,000 people posted comments.  And most importantly, the video is making a difference; so many have written to say that they now understand why marriage equality is so fundamentally right and how important it is to legally prepare for the unexpected.  I have heard that our story is providing inspiration and hope. And now we are making a film – … [Continue reading...]

By Leave a Comment

Never Quit Chasing the Rabbit — Casey Tibbs’ Start Story

By Leave a Comment

Casey Tibbs faced a life-changing event when a motorcycle accident forced him to amputate his right leg. Tibbs was a multi-sport athlete growing up, so instead of letting this disability discourage him, he found rewarding competition in the Paralympic Games. In 2004, Tibbs became the first American active-duty military member to compete in a Paralympic Games, and is now a two-time gold medalist in the men’s 4 x 100-meter relay. Now Tibbs has set his sights on the 2012 Olympics and partnership with Kellogg’s Olympic campaign. Tibbs follows his nutrition closely and believes that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Kellogg’s has been helping people start their days right for more than 100 years, so it makes sense that they are celebrating the start. Tibbs will be one of eight … [Continue reading...]
