Defining Your Life – A Living Well Adventure Film

Living Well Magazine’s Founder, Josh Cates, asks you to join him in a journey and to be inspired by Living Well’s first Adventure Film “Defining Your Life, ” capturing five “boomer” athletes in their element at the 2012 Teva Mountain Games in Vail, Colorado.
