Description
This year over 500 adult residents from Central Texas nursing homes will prove that getting older doesn't mean giving up on life, living, or competition. They will compete in the 2014 Games for Life, a series of Olympic-style events that test their physical, mental, and creative skills. Teams will compete in volleyball, racing, dominoes, spelling, and more. This incredible event is the 32nd in Austin.
