BradAge:

2003How many lives do you touch every year? For Brad, the answer is at least 700; that’s how many kids he takes to Flat Rock River YMCA Camp for his annual Outdoor Education trip. There, his sixth-graders get the chance to learn about science in an immersive, hands-on way. And, because it’s with the Y, they also learn something valuable about themselves.

MosesAge:
62YMCA Member Since:
2006It would have been easy for Moses to dial back his active lifestyle. A history of running marathons had taken its toll on his knees, and he was now facing a lengthy period of physical therapy. Instead, Moses turned to the Y, building back his strength with the help of our bikes, weight machines—and community. He was soon able to end his therapy, proving you can’t keep a good man (sitting) down.

Since joining, he has done everything from volunteering as a youth sports referee to summer camp counseling. Vern considers himself a civic-minded person, and the YMCA provides him the perfect place to give back to the community. (The community—and we—thank him.)

MalachaiAge:
10YMCA Member Since:
2004Malachai has been coming to the YMCA for literally half his life, so you could say he’s almost grown up here. That’s reflected in the way he now feels part of our family; everyone knows him by name. And whether he’s playing team sports (soccer is his current favorite) or just hitting one of the exercise machines, he’s learning a lifetime of healthy habits.

Name:
LoraAge:
100YMCA Member Since:
1974To those who think they’re too old to be active: Sorry to burst your bubble. Lora may be 100 years young, but she still does Yoga and spends the warmer months swimming at her local YMCA (8 laps, in case you were wondering). It’s this kind of activity that she and her doctors credit for her continued good health. Lora is proof positive that age really is just a number.

TriciaAge:
39YMCA Member Since:
2008Completing a mini-marathon is a lofty goal for most people. For Tricia, it’s more of a halfway point. Since joining the Y, Tricia has lost six pant sizes in baby weight, raised $1000 for the Y For All Annual Giving Campaign, and, yes, completed two 26.2 marathons. There's no stopping her now.

2006Summer. For some kids it means an uninterrupted smorgasbord of TV, video games and...more TV. For Jacob and his siblings Olivia and Hannah, it means swimming, horseback riding and rock climbing—to name just a few of the things they do every year at camp. They’re having so much fun, we’re tempted not to tell them they’re also learning values and skills that’ll last a lifetime.

AmandaAge:
33YMCA Member Since:
2009After gradually becoming more and more sedentary (and looking the part), Amanda finally decided she’d had enough.

The results have been dramatic: she’s lost 80 pounds and become a fixture—and source of inspiration—at her local branch.

Name:
SeritaAge:
52YMCA Member Since:
2007Serita, like millions of other adults who never learned how to swim, always wondered if she’d missed her chance. However, since joining the Y, she’s tackled everything from Hip-Hop Aerobics to Zumba, losing ten pounds in the process. And, just as importantly, she’s mustered up the courage to finally take swim lessons—showing it’s never too late to jump in.
