Yep, that’s right, an 81 year old man is biking a very long distance for a charity. Pretty impressive huh? Even more impressive is the amount of miles the 81 year old has pledged to bike. 2,000 miles! He is biking around Arizona and has already set off recently to raise money for the charity. The ambitious and big hearted guy, named Bill Anderson, is making the trip to benefit a shelter that feeds, clothes and cares for the homeless based out of Yuma.

Anderson is no stranger to travelling long distances on his bike for charities, he’s done it a few times before, so hopefully that means he’s in peak shape for his latest endeavor and won’t encounter any problems. We can all take a few lessons from this big hearted and athletic man. That you only live once, and attitude is everything when it comes to age.

I haven’t seen a picture of Bill Anderson, but by some of his quotes, you can tell he’s someone that has a lot of zest for life and has kept active for his whole life, which is apparent in the way he views life, as an enjoyable ride, but only as enjoyable as you make it and as enjoyable as you allow it to be throught he health and maintenance of a strong, lean body through exercise and moving around. As they say, immobility begins the death cycle. Cryptic, but true!
