Honor The Past By Living Fully Today
growing bolder

Life's most heart-breaking moments are often the inspiration for new paths forward. SPC Corey Kowall was the pride and joy of his mother, Kelly. Following his death, while serving in the military, she alchemized her grief to create a respite for veterans and their families. Christie Coombs' husband died in one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. She created the Jeffrey Coombs Memorial Foundation to help families who have suffered loss or tragedy. It has helped her out of the black hole of grief. And in the process, she created something positive in his name. Former sports reporter Tim Gray now helps preserve and share the stories of the Greatest Generation, a powerful reminder about the cost of freedom and their bravery.

About Growing Bolder:

GROWING BOLDER targets people who believe, "it's not about age, it's about attitude.

"The new lifestyle series finds and celebrates the men and women who smash stereotypes, promote lifelong learning and act as role models for active lifestyle and healthy aging.

The co-hosts, veteran journalists Marc Middleton and Bill Shafer, bring a wealth of broadcast experience to GROWING BOLDER.

In each episode, they introduce inspirational, optimistic and life-affirming segments about athletes, cancer survivors, musicians, actors, politicians, health experts, as well as ordinary people - all of whom share a common goal of growing bolder, not older.
