72-year-old Paul Hamer is proof that we can all find our own way to pursue a happy, active life as we age, no matter our circumstances. His passion for line dancing and country music helped him overcome a battle with cancer, and encourages others to find inner strength in their own passions as they age.
“It’s all about mindset,” Hamer says. “You’d be surprised how much joy and energy an activity might bring you.”
Humana and Growing Bolder are proud to share Hamer’s message as part of The New 65+, a stereotype-smashing initiative that celebrates life beyond the age of 65 as a time of opportunity, joy and possibility. View more stories and share your own at GrowingBolder.com/New65Plus
