Rich Marquez, AKA “Pono,” was diagnosed with stage 3+ pancreatic cancer, a diagnosis where only 15-20% of patients are even eligible for the life-saving Whipple procedure. Through what he calls a series of miracles, strong medical care, unwavering faith, a disciplined approach to nutrition and prehab, and constant care and encouragement from his wife, Rich not only endured the strongest preventive treatments with virtually no side effects, he kept living. Two weeks after finishing 12 rounds of chemotherapy infusions, he was on a plane to Hawaii to play softball. Months later, Rich was competing at the Huntsman World Senior Games, where the team earned a bronze medal. Today, his labs are clear, he’s cancer-free, and he’s preparing to take the field again. This year, Rich’s team gave him the nickname “Pono,” a Hawaiian word and name meaning righteousness, balance, and integrity, and he wears the name with honor.

Wendy Lumby’s journey into active living began almost as soon as she could walk. Adopted as a baby in Saskatchewan, she found her passion early: skiing just under 18 months old, excelling in figure skating, alpine ski racing, and soccer, always drawn to speed, movement, and competition. That drive carried her all the way to the Canadian National Alpine Ski Team, World Championships, and the 1988 Winter Olympics, where she made history as the only Aboriginal person to ever compete in Olympic alpine skiing or even at the International level period. Wendy has been named in the Top 100 Canadian Professionals as owner of Faces of Wendy, a Calgary Based Talent Agency, and has become a world-class coach, trailblazer, mentor, and advocate for women in sport. She has won a Canadian Woman Of Inspiration Award, a Canadian Indigenous Leader Award, and four Alberta Achievement awards. Wendy continues to live the active aging mindset through her true love, soccer, playing four to five days a week, often multiple games a day.

Michael Smith is a lifelong swimmer whose relationship with water began at age nine in a small Ohio town with no high school pool. Instead, he had a YMCA, grit, and a first-generation college mindset that later led him to a double major in business management and humanities, advanced graduate work, and a Six Sigma Black Belt. That early path led him to national-level swimming competition, a decades-long pause, and then a powerful return to the sport at age 60. Now 68, Mike remains a pure swimming sprinter who thrives on speed, competition, and continuous improvement. He competes against elite swimmers and former Olympians, chases personal bests, and credits swimming as essential to his mental health and resilience. With his dad cheering from the stands, Mike's story is about rediscovery, discipline, and proving it’s never too late to come back stronger.
