Charles Eugster is not your average 90-something year old man. He decided to take up body building and running. He started body building at age 87 to improve his health and appearance. Most recently, the 95-year-old former dentist has set a new world record for his age group in the 200-meter indoor sprint, knocking a massive 2.4 seconds off the previous record. "I want to make old age something wonderful." He proves age IS just a number!
OGTV is celebrating World Circus Day with host Josh Varozza of Breaking Beauty, who introduces us to uniquely interesting and creative people who don't live up to the world's standard definitions of beauty but turn out to be exceptionally beautiful inside and out.
In this episode, Josh flies to New York City to take part in the world-famous Big Apple Circus. He has less than 48 hours to find his spot before he goes before a full house. Is he ready to soar on the trapeze? Flip off a galloping horse? Or maybe... take a spin on the Wheel of Death?

Today, Aydian Dowling is a Trans-Activist, Influencer, Cover Model, husband and Dad, but it has been a long journey. In OGTV's original series, The Creation of Us (S1), we follow Aydian and wife, Jenilee, as they break down barriers and start their own family. Watch the full season at: http://bit.ly/CreationOfUsS1Playlist
Born and raised in Long Island, New York, Aydian Dowling always felt out of place. He grew up attending Catholic school and eventually asked his parents to transfer him to public school where he could dress and act more naturally. He came out as a lesbian soon after. "I felt in line with being a lesbian. It was A + B = C." he remembers "I was a girl who liked other girls and that made me a lesbian."
When he was 20, Aydian still felt different and disconnected, even with other lesbians. Soon afterward he realized that he identified as a Trans man. This series explores Aydian's evolving self-awareness and his unique ability to connect with others and to help then on the same path.

** One of OGTV's GOOD STORIES of the week is this puurrfect tale of a unique business that has become a "win-win" scenario for both people and cats! **
Sandra Cagan was a businesswoman in Orlando approaching her 50th birthday when she decided to combine her love of cats and her work experience to start a new venture, the Orlando Cat Café.
As a lifelong cat fan, Sandra's main goal in opening the café was to help match kitties up for adoption with pet parents looking for a new friend. What she didn't realize at the time was that her coffee shop would help human visitors as much as the cats!
"The most wonderful thing is the therapy... They always have new cats who need socialization, so everybody wins!" says one regular guest named Laurie. She, like many other cat lovers, can't have pets at home because of allergies in the family. But thanks to the Orlando Cat Café, Laurie gets to experience the therapeutic benefits of cuddly animals whenever she likes.
Plus, Sandra's cat-adoption efforts aren't the only charitable initiative happening at the café! The coffee and food on sale for visitors are made by Axum Coffee, a company that was also started to help others. Axum's namesake is a city in Ethiopia where fresh water is scarce and poverty widespread; all profits from coffee and food sold at the cat café go to the people of Axum, Ethiopia, to help improve their quality of life.
"They have a similar mission in life... we clicked immediately," says Sandra of her business partners.
Speaking of "clicking," maybe the next time you're in Orlando you'll seek out Sandra's café and hit it off with one of the cats up for adoption! Adoption specialists are always on-site to help match the personalities of potential owners with those of the kitties in the play area. And it works! More than 80 cats have been adopted since Sandra opened her business in 2016.
If you are in the area, The Cat Café is located in the Town Center at Cagan Crossings, 4 miles west of Disney's Animal Kingdom.
This Only Good TV original video was produced by Tracy Chevrier, shot by Jeremiah Baumbach, and edited by Kellie Sieban.

** Is your life fuller and happier when pets and other animals are around? This week, OGTV is sharing stories from Press Paws, our heartwarming series for the animal lover in all of us! **
Inspired by a senior dog named Marty, Marty's Place is a sanctuary "providing old friends with a loving home for life." This active senior dog community in Upper Freehold Township, New Jersey, takes in dogs age 7 and older, and provides them with companionship, physical and emotional comfort, and the enrichment they need to thrive in their golden years.
"When a dog comes into Marty's place, we embrace them as if they've been our own for a long time", founder Doreen Jakubcak explains. "We remind them for as long as they are here they will be loved and they will have a home."
Staffed by loving volunteers, each dog is groomed, has extended play and exercise time, and receives carefully monitored nutrition and health care. The Family Room is Marty's central hangout where the dogs can socialize with each other and the volunteers, or comfortably relax to a belly rub with a friendly human.
The facility has over 25 acres of woods for the dogs to roam, and an in-ground pool for water exercises. They host various fundraising events throughout the year, including a "Ruff Mudder" obstacle course and "Howl-o-ween," where people bring their children and pets in costume for all sorts of fall fun.
Volunteer Pam Bowski, who has a senior dog at home, is thrilled to be part of the love and care Marty's Place provides for each of their residents. "Each one has their own personality," she noted. "They're just really sweet and if fills my heart up. I'm blessed to have found this place."
See how this non-profit provides a healthy and active environment for dogs who may be a bit up in years, but still have plenty of spirit! Adopt one today!

** The Boston Marathon is a much anticipated right of spring and OGTV honors the running of this year's race with a story about a competitor who doesn't let the fact that he can't see the course prevent him from running it! **
At age 14, Josh Crary was diagnosed with the degenerative retinal condition known as choroideremia causing him to go permanently blind.
Never allowing his condition to hold him back from achieving his dreams, Josh decided to run the 2012 Boston Marathon. Both of his parents passed within the 3 months after the race, inspiring him to run again in 2013 in honor of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the hospital where his father was treated.
"The message I try to send is that life not only throws you lemons, but sometimes grenades," Josh noted. "Things might not go the way you want, or expect, but as long as we can all hold out together things do get better over time."
Josh hopes that by running he can connect with others in similar situations and inspire them to go after their dreams!
For more information on Josh's story, check out his blog: http://bostonblindrunner.com

** Our final OGTV "GOOD STORY" of the week is a KIDSBIZ tale about a young Texan with Down Syndrome whose passion for people and business has made his Snow Cone Shack a centerpiece of his community. And what a smile! **
At just 20-years-old, Blake Pyron is Sanger, Texas' youngest business owner. He also happens to have Down Syndrome. The former Sanger High School football captain and prom king opened Blake's Snow Shack, because of his passion for flavored ice. Blake became the only business owner in the state of Texas with Down Syndrome, a distinction that has been acknowledged by Texas Senator Ted Cruz and the United States Senate with an official proclamation.
Blake's Snow Shack isn't hard to locate, with its bright yellow exterior – you can most certainly spot this yellow truck. There you will find his equally bright smile, and Blake more than willing to give you his favorite flavor recommendations. With 23 flavors to choose from, there is something for everyone. Blake's passion and kindness are infectious. He has brought his whole community together with his business and friendship!
This video was produced by Lucia Nazzaro and shot/edited by Ryan Shelby.

** To highlight Adult Autism Awareness Day, OGTV is sharing this story about a talented young man, diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, who has a nack for doing voices and has gone on to become an actor and a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) **
Jodi Murphy is a marketing specialist, lifestyle journalist and out-of-the-box thinker who works daily to promote self-acceptance and understanding for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. She is also Mom to son Jonathan Murphy, who was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome at age 13, but has gone on to become a Bay Area actor, a voice over artist, and a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG).
Jodi has always approached her son's challenges and the struggles to find professional services and support for him with an upbeat approach. One of her creative out-of-the-box strategies that came to life was when she founded Geek Club Books to give Jonathan the opportunity to share his experiences growing up with children on the spectrum in an inspirational, respectful, humorous and entertaining way. They've released their first interactive storybook app, The Mighty League, featuring an Aspie protagonist who saves the day because of his unique point of view. Dorktales, classic fairy tales with a geekish twist, were created specifically for Jonathan's talents—kooky character voices, entertaining children, physical comedy, great timing, and a cheeky wit.
While Jonathan was growing up, Jodi noticed he was always different, teachers didn't understand him, and he was sometimes bullied. Since Autism wasn't diagnosed back then, life was a struggle until Jodi found a different school where Jonathan was respected and admired for who he was. Jonathan discovered theatre there and developed his ability to do voices. He believes that the characters he creates for the Mighty League and other projects are helping to make a connection and raise awareness with all kinds of kids. "This is a good way to say we (with autism) like a lot of the same stuff you do," he noted. "We are all really talented and we can use our talents to contribute and make a difference in the world."
Watch and learn about all the different creative works being developed by Jonathan, his sister Molly and a bunch of other amazingly talented people at Geek Club Books who are changing perceptions about autism and putting an end to negative stereotypes.
