After two knee replacements and other health challenges, Marjorie Moskowitz was diagnosed with COPD and a partially collapsed lung. She was told she didn’t have long to live, but decided not to give up and began swimming at the YMCA. She progressed day by day. After a few years, she went back to her doctor, and they couldn’t believe her improvement! Marjorie has since then walked the Acropolis and believes swimming at the Y saved her life!
