Never Give Up--Never Too Old
Since the 1950s, swimmers have dreamed of attempting the 100+ mile swim from Cuba to Florida.
 Diana Nyad had also dreamed of it since she was in her twenties. Scientists, sports experts, her team and trainer all told her it was impossible.
After four failed attempts, jelly fish, sharks, hypothermia, vomiting, hallucinating and singing John Lennon's "Imagine" 1,000 times, she completed the 53-hour swim.
She was 64 years old.
You can listen to the awe-inspiring message on TED Talks to hear her say, "You can chase your dreams at any age; you're never too old."

Research suggests seniors are especially vulnerable because they don't detect suspicious body language as easily. If you'd like suggestions for talking to your parents about fraud, read this Guardian Fiduciary article.
To arm yourself with valuable knowledge of the most popular scams, be sure to read the National Council on Aging's list: The Top 10 Scams Targeting Seniors.
