Sandra Richmond, PhD, is aging adventurously through her 70s. A late bloomer, she did not fully embrace her active lifestyle until her mid-40s. And now, despite having arthritis, spinal stenosis, atrial fibrillation, and joint replacement surgeries in both hips and both knees, she has walked dozens of marathons, half marathons, 50, 15, 10, & 5Ks, supporting worthy causes and happily motivating others to join her in these walker-friendly events.     

In her late 40s, Sandra returned to the University of Arizona to earn a PhD in Management and Policy, and teaching college classes while she achieved her lifelong academic dream. After working in operations management at Quest, she pursued a second career in organization development at Walt Disney World and leadership development at Limited Brands.
