Senior Sailor Proves Age is Just a Number
An 83-year-old Japanese man just set a world record for sailing solo nonstop across the Pacific Ocean. What’s even more impressive, this was not the first time Kenichi Horie made this journey. He did the same thing 60 years ago.
According to GoodNewsNetwork.org, it took Horie two months to cross the world’s largest ocean — from California to Japan — in his 19-foot-long sailboat this past spring.
Never one to back away from a challenge, Horie told supporters: “Don’t let your dreams just stay as dreams. Have a goal and work towards achieving this and a beautiful life awaits.”
The Seniors Trust wants all seniors to have the opportunity to experience a happy and rewarding retirement. But to do that you can’t be struggling financially. That’s why lawmakers need to pass the Social Security Expansion Act. It would provide bigger monthly benefits, establish a fairer cost-of-living adjustment, and ensure the long-term solvency of the Social Security program. To show your support, please sign our petition calling on Congress to enact this landmark piece of legislation.
