Dr. Wilburn Durousseau, at 87, was honored by his community of Lynwood, California, for his 55+ years of service at St. Francis Medical Center. During his career as a Board-certified OBGYN, he delivered some 10,000 babies, and although he still assists in deliveries and surgeries, Dr. Wilburn has turned most of his attention to educating the next generation of healers, a very necessary and important task. These healers include his own godson, going into the nursing profession with the encouragement and support of both his mom, and, of course, Dr. Wilburn!

Judith Som, at 82, became the oldest woman to finish the 2024 New York City Marathon. Judith, a devoted New Yorker, has run the marathon for 21 years. She only runs the New York City Marathon because, hey! Judith loves her hometown and finds great joy in celebrating her passion for both running and New York City. Judith began running at 34, became hooked, and never looked back. Now a proud member of “Mercury Masters,” a New York City running club for women over 50, Judith thrives in body, mind and spirit, thanks to the people she has met and the wonderful experiences she’s had along her running journey—and she's not done yet.
