MOLLINE GREEN, 75
Foundation Board Member and participant in Baycrest SEALFIT in 2019.
SEALFIT is regarded as the hardest civilian training in the world.
Braving physical challenge at any age!
Why does she participate?
"I looked upon my SEALFIT goal as another personal
challenge. I tried to manage my expectations of what I
could achieve [at SEALFIT], not having done anything that
extreme before; but given my positive attitude and physical
fitness level, I was optimistic I could complete the six-hour
portion." (Editor's note: She did!)
"Not sure if my SEALFIT days are over, but for now I am
taking great pleasure in knowing I was able to complete
the SEALFIT 2019 challenge at the ripe old age of 73."
What does supporting Baycrest mean to Molline?
"Baycrest has been an important presence in my life dating
back 30 years, when my mother first introduced me to
the Meals on Wheels program that runs out of Baycrest.
She volunteered to deliver these precious meals to our
community. My parents supported Baycrest as donors
and my father benefited from Baycrest's care when he
convalesced after his hip surgery at the age of 99."
"I have been a Foundation Board Member and active
participant in many Baycrest initiatives through the years,
including co-chairing one of our annual campaigns and
riding in many Barrie 2 Baycrest rides, in addition to
SEALFIT. Of all the organizations I support, Baycrest is the
most near and dear to my heart. I plan to continue to be
an active member of the Baycrest community in whatever
capacity I can, for as long as I am able."
