Diana Nyad's Unstoppable Journey and the Power of Unwavering Support

Diana Nyad set out to swim from Cuba to Key West. She failed after four attempts - her journey was beset by harsh weather, the stings of poisonous jellyfish, and the overwhelming exhaustion that would have stopped almost anyone else. But at the age of 61, on her fifth attempt, she defied all these odds and completed the historic 110-mile swim. 

Diana spoke today at the #SeniorHelpers conference and her focus was on her team—those who believed in her unconditionally, who never gave up on her, and who stood by her through every challenge. Their support and belief made all the difference. She attributes her ultimate success to the unwavering commitment of the people around her.

Today, I had the privilege of meeting Diana Nyad at the #SeniorHelpers conference. She graciously allowed me to take a picture with her for my children. I hope this moment inspires them, just as it has inspired me, to keep striving no matter how tough the journey may seem.
