As people grow older, health setbacks and changes in their physical and cognitive abilities can bring unexpected challenges. But for some, ageing does not mean giving up the things they love or stepping back from life.

At 76, Esther Sim has battled breast cancer three times, recovered from a serious back injury and is now navigating pre-dementia. Despite these challenges, she continues to paddle with a dragon boat team and give back to the community.
