Meet the 2023 Senior Planet Sponsored Athlete: Gerry Smith

“There are so many easy activities we can take up: walking, chair exercises, dancing — really anything that keeps us moving and our hearts pumping so we can stay active longer.” -Gerry Smith

 

When Gerry Smith's doctor informed her that she was pre-diabetic, she committed to walking daily and saw major improvements in her health. Gerry is now a strong women's health advocate who enjoys sharing her healthy habits with women like herself.
