"I think so many people are metaphorically standing on the shore in Cuba going like, OK, I have 100 miles to swim and it just I just feel like everyone can be inspired by this." - Cynthia Rowley

Diana Nyad: "I just want to say three things. One, never, ever give up. Two, you're never too old to chase your dreams. And three, it looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team."

The event which was hosted by Cynthia Rowley and Pat Cleveland, with special guests Director Chai Vasarhelyi and Bonnie Stoll (portrayed by Jodie Foster), was a chance for the community to come together and discuss aging, how we defy the odds at any age, and to show that there is no expiration on ambition or success.
