We're Challenging You to Disrupt Aging

Loneliness isn’t just joyless. It can shorten your life, increasing the risk of premature death by 30 percent.

That’s why AARP North Carolina has teamed up with the YMCA of Western North Carolina to sponsor the Disrupt Aging Community Health Challenge. The challenge aims to reduce social isolation while helping participants achieve their personal health goals.
