We've probably all heard the old adage "age is just a number." But it's one thing to hear it and a totally different thing to witness people accomplishing big dreams and setting new goals later in life. One example is Yuichiro Miura, "The Godfather of Extreme Skiing," who was the first person to ski down Mount Everest and who later became the oldest person to climb the mountain at age 80 in 2013. At 72, Edwina "Eddie" Brocklesby became the oldest British woman to compete in an Ironman triathalon; she's adopted the nickname "Irongran." And, who could forget Nelson Mandela? He was in his mid-seventies when he received a Nobel Peace Prize and was elected president of South Africa. United by a drive to keep moving forward, these impressive adventurers, creators, and changemakers remind us there's no age limit for ambition or creativity.
