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's second GOOD STORY of the week is about a unique version of baseball that gives the blind and visually impaired a chance to swing for the fences and live out their own World Series dreams. **
The Long Island Bombers are a dedicated group of baseball enthusiasts and athletes from Long Island, NY. They just happen to be blind and visually impaired.
The Bombers play beep baseball, a modified version of traditional baseball that uses a beeping ball and buzzing bases to guide the players to score a run.
Many of the players are not allowed to get involved in sports at their schools due to a lack of equipment and the fear of injury. At the Bombers, players have everything they need to be competitive, meet other people like them, and engage in a game they thought they would never have the opportunity to otherwise.
The Bombers gather the blind and visually impaired from across Long Island and gives them a community to bond with and a great game to play!
Ted Fass, Executive Director of the Bombers, is also a player. "When I had the experience of playing baseball again, it just brought back the memories of being a Little Leaguer, before I lost my sight," he shared. "Besides the game, i really enjoy creating the opportunity for visually impaired and blind athletes to come out here and play baseball."
Watch how these athletes show us that no matter what the obstacles, the ability to succeed lies within all of us.

** OGTV's First GOOD STORY of the week is about an innovative way a young woman is helping both kids and adults get a cardio workout while having fun at her Mermaid School. **
This mermaid school is helping people to live out a childhood dreams! Marielle Chartier Henault founded Aquasirene, Canada's first mermaid school in early February 2015. Born with an imaginary fin, Marielle spent much of her childhood in the water and was inspired to educate another generation of water lovers after taking part in an under water photo shoot with a mermaid tail.
After seeing a video of a mermaid school in Germany, in a matter of weeks Marielle had turned her passion for under water play into a variety of instructional classes promoting fitness while fulfilling the universal curiosity of becoming a mermaid. Classes are for both kids and adults, but everyone has fun while getting a great cardio workout.
"Being the first mermaid school in Canada is amazing." Marielle says. "Mermaids are international - there is no language, no color - it's just something to be happy and share your good energy."
Learning to swim has never been so fun!

** OGTV continues its recognition of BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH with this story about an organization, their annual gathering of women cancer survivors, and the group's ongoing efforts to boost each other up as they fight to lead full and happy lives. **
The Women Survivors Alliance finds a place where all women cancer survivors need to be!
For the past 4 years, SURVIVORville in Nashville, TN has given hope and inspiration to more than 3,000 women from 49 states and 5 countries. They come together to rebuild their lives after a diagnosis of cancer. Produced by 29-year cancer survivor Karen Shayne and the Women Survivors Alliance, SURVIVORville connects these women and strengthens them emotionally for their own journeys with and beyond cancer. SURVIVORville serves these women with sessions ranging from emotional support to makeovers to the latest in medical breakthroughs. Shayne and her WSA volunteers are strong survivors themselves who know what it takes to persevere, overcome, and live life to the fullest. Through the event, they share that inspiration with attendees new to the cancer journey and unsure of their own path forward in life.
"The Women Survivors Alliance is 501(c)(3) organization that was founded by women cancer survivors for women cancer survivors, and we have the time of our lives celebrating survivorship, learning more about our journey, becoming empowered, and ultimately giving hope to others," says Karen Shayne.
In this, its fourth year, SURVIVORville culminated with the organization's signature stage show, My 2nd Act: Survivor Stories from the Stage held at the Historic Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, Here, ten cancer survivors shared their own personal, heartfelt stories of perseverance in the face of uncertainty in shaping their own survivorship.
The professionally produced stage show, co-founded by Joanna Montgomery and Shayne, created an avenue for women from around the country to tell the intimate details of their cancer stories. For some, this is the first time they've ever stepped into the spotlight. For all, it was a way to give hope and inspiration to everyone in the audience, survivors, and co-survivors, dealing with their own questions and fears about the journey. And that is the tie that binds these women so closely- hope and inspiration.
"Every person's story is unique. Everyone's journey is different. Everyone's cancer is different, but the emotion is the same... and that's what this stage show is about – hope and inspiration," says Karen.
This year's Stories from the Stage host and SURVIVORville keynote speaker was hometown favorite Scott Hamilton, an Olympic Gold Medalist and fellow cancer survivor. Scott motivated the audience with his own story of survivorship and inspiration, noting his incredible journey prompted him to create Scott Hamilton CARES (Cancer Alliance for Research, Education, and Survivorship) Foundation, an organization that often partners with the Women Survivors Alliance in creating survivorship programs.
The Women Survivors Alliance is an all-volunteer organization and depends on donor support for the two programs. To assist the WSA or to share your own story of trial, inspiration, and accomplishment, please visit Womensurvivorsalliance.org. There is, indeed, strength in numbers, and the WSA welcomes all women survivors to its ranks, to grow stronger together.
This OnlyGood TV original video was produced by television veteran, Marcia Mulé, shot by Craig Aspen and edited by Kellie Sieban. Additional footage of the event was provided by Philip Bradley of New Focus Network.

** OGTV's first SPORTS & ATHLETES playlist video of the week is about a special group of women who are doing what they love as they defy gravity and perform breathtaking aerial acrobatics thousands of feat in the air! **
This group is known as the Joy Riders and they aren't afraid of much. The all female, international skydiving and base jumping team fall through the sky for fun. They represent joy, passion, inspiration, and work to motivate their audience to go after what they want most in life.
Team member Amy Chemelek shares that what they do is pretty scary, but it is also exhilarating and lots of fun. "Women don't think they can do something like this...that they can make their living by being a professional athlete or even by whatever it is they love to do," she explains. "We hope that by seeing us, they realize they can do that."
The Joyriders hope they inspire others to pursue their own passions. If you're listening girls, get out there today and rock the world in your own way!

** For National Bosses Day, we honor the memory of our friend, neighbor, and small business owner who passed on recently, Tim Currie. Thanks to his loving family, Currie Tire continues to thrive as it has for over 90 years. **
Tim Currie is a devoted family man, just like the two generations of Currie's before him. He is the proud owner of Currie Tire of Norwalk, CT, which was started by his grandfather LJ Duck Currie in 1929. His two sons, Adam and Tim Jr, have also decided to follow in their family footsteps and inherit the dream of generations past that started 86 years ago.
This family's unique devotion to one another was challenged in 2005 when the patriarch was diagnosed with colon cancer. Tim underwent treatment and fought off the disease. Two years later, Tim was diagnosed with a second cancer, this time in his liver. During his second round of treatment, Tim declined chemotherapy and decided on natural remedies to cure his life threatening disease.
It was during this time when his life was on the line, Tim decided to rekindle an old passion for playing music and picked up is drumsticks for the first time in 25 years. Armed with a new lease on life, he started his band, Tim Currie and the Motown Review and donates their talents to raising money for those suffering and in need. Check out this video and witness the healing powers of family and in following your passions.
"When I was able to join this band I really thought it would be a very cool thing to bring back just Motown music," Tim recalled. "The juices started to flow and it was just a great feeling to play music again."
Check out this video and witness the healing powers of family and in following your passions.
