Ageing is a verb

A new campaign has been launched by the Aging Services of California which highlights that "Aging is an active verb". It includes TV public service announcements featuring astronaut John Glenn returning to space at 77 and Mother Teresa receiving the Nobel Peace Prize at 69. One of the aims of the program is to encourage people of all ages to plan now to help ensure their future will be healthy, safe, independent and active. Learn more at http://www.aging.org.
