When he suddenly lost his vision at the age of 23 to macular degeneration, Alan Lock didn't know what he was going to do with the rest of his life. After a bout with depression, he got moving -- and rowed his way across the Atlantic.

Another 50+ endurance athlete has found a place in the record books. 56-year-old Jennifer Figge has become the first woman in history to swim across the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1984, Joseph P. Kittinger Jr. made aviation history when he became the first person to cross the Atlantic solo in a balloon. We visit with him to commemorate the event and reminisce with a true American pioneer.

What will your obituary say about you? Roz Savage wasn't satisfied with the direction her life was taking, so she decided to make big changes -- changes that prompted her to row across the Atlantic!

Eco-warrior Roz Savage is back from her solo boat trips across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and she's launching a new project that helps all of us do one good green deed every day.

One of Growing Bolder's favorite guests is back to update us on her amazing -- and physically demanding -- journey to raise awareness about our fragile environment.
