Orville Rogers found his inspiration 50 years ago reading Aerobics by Dr. Cooper and never looked back. This WWII veteran and commercial airline pilot took up running to see if exercise could really keep him healthy and strong.
He went on to break over 18 world records in track after the age of 90 and run over 43,000 miles in his life. Even at the age of 101, our beloved Well.Hero. recipient and Meyer Society member never lost his inspiration to stay physically active.
