This Living to 100 Club’s podcast introduces our listeners to Samaritan’s Feet International. This is an organization devoted to giving shoes to seniors around the world. Our guest is Deborah Cox-Roush, Development Officer, and Senior Program Manager for the organization. We discuss the prevalence of foot problems in older adults. How does the lack of proper footwear increase the risk of falls. She explains how it contributes to balance problems, foot pain, and difficulty with mobility and independence. How does the aging process affect the biomechanics, structure, and function of the foot? How does proper footwear contribute to a more comfortable, happy life marked with dignity and hope? And how does Samaritan’s Feet reach the shoeless around the world and distribute footwear to these millions of people? Tune in for this important conversation.
