In just one week a group of four women, each over the age of 47 (and one of whom used to be obese until she decided to make a positive change in her life), traveled 3,000 miles for Race Across America, under extreme conditions and severe sleep deprivation. By doing this, these women demonstrated that age is just a number, and they also raised money for two important causes: awareness in the fights against both obesity and autism. NBC News, 7/6/2012
