Watching my parents as they grew older showed me firsthand how important it is to stay active, sharp and engaged throughout our lives. My mom, whom we sadly lost in 2022, lived her life that way, and my dad continues to do so today. Their example inspired me to create something that could help other seniors keep active, connecting with friends and having fun.

And then there’s Mr. Fitz — my sweet 12-year-old Coton de Tuléar. He’s been a wonderful buddy, bringing smiles, love and a lot fun to every day. It seemed only fitting that he become the friendly face of something created to do much the same.

Keep your brain sharp. Keep playing. Keep enjoying every day — with Mr. Fitz by your side.
