Meet Marion - an extraordinary 85-year-old woman who's been involved in dog sports for over 50 years and was actually there when agility was first introduced to the public at Crufts in the 1970s!

Marion is the devoted mama of three Schipperkes, a breed she's been passionate about for five decades. Currently training and competing in both agility and obedience, she embodies what it means to live life with purpose and energy at any age.

I met Marion at one of my seminars and was immediately struck by her incredible energy. When she casually mentioned she was 85, I knew I had to learn her secret to living such a fulfilled and active life. This conversation feels like catching up with an old friend - complete with lots of laughter that might test your eardrums!

We dive into her incredible journey with dogs, her competitive spirit that extends beyond agility to everyday life, her memories of witnessing agility's early days at Crufts, and her philosophy of always having goals to work toward.

As Marion puts it: "I always had goals. I had a big goal and then smaller goals to build to that. I have to live with goals, you know. You have to have some purpose."

A truly inspiring conversation about staying active, purposeful, and joyful - living proof that age is just a number when you have passion and purpose.
