Senior Fitness: Aging in Alaska Interview with Bonnie Murphy

No Comment

Bonnie Murphy interviewed by Aging in Alaska

(listen to the .mp3 audio file on the link above)

I was interviewed for the Aging in Alaska radio program back in June and it aired in July in Bethel and Cordova.

Aging in Alaska is a radio show produced by the Alzheimer’s Resource of Alaska created to provide information, insight, guidance and support to Alaska’s elders and their families.

During the interview I shared my thoughts on living healthy at any age.

I hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions or comments, email or call me at (907) 229-7652.
