Two such wonder-full people are Penny and George Marsden whom you can't help but notice in my neighborhood, which they patrol daily on their 1 1/2 hour route around the parks, shops and the church. Penny is 81 and George 93 and last year George was afraid he might lose his walking and life partner when Penny broke her hip. She had a 3 month hospital stay, extensive rehabilitation and is now back on the streets, sun glinting off her walker and seeming to move as well as ever. Penny and George are really poster people for wellness of body, mind and spirit. They radiate warmth and friendliness, they are physically fit and, in their 80's and 90's, have been busy auditing courses in Latin and Greek, medieval studies, English, linguistics, philosophy and history at the University of Victoria. I noticed that their caps and clothing often feature a Tri Fit logo. There is a reason for this, their daughter is Veronica Marsden, a Pioneer of Canadian Wellness and owner of Tri Fit, one of Canada's leaders in workplace fitness and wellness.Wellness just seems to run (or maybe walk) in the family.
