RiverWoods Racers redefine what it means to age boldly!

The Lewisburg Triathlon was filled with determination, teamwork, and unforgettable moments—but none more inspiring than the performance of our very own RiverWoods Racers:
- Mary Ellen (84) – first-time triathlete who didn’t learn to swim until 40
- Elmer (91) – retired postmaster, first time on the bike course
- Norm (82) – lifelong athlete choosing teamwork over sitting it out

Together, this incredible trio proved that age is just a number and that it’s never too late to start something new. With a combined age of 257, they tackled the swim, bike, and run relay with passion and pride—and reminded us all what it means to live life to the fullest.

Congratulations, Racers—you’ve shown us exactly what looks like!

Age? Just a number.

The Riverwood Racers – Mary Ellen Beaver (84), Elmer Maurer (91), and Norm Halteman (82) – proved that once again at the Lewisburg Sprint Triathlon 🌟

🌈 June is Pride Month, and at Asbury, we take this time to celebrate inclusion, authenticity, and compassion. We recognize the courage of the LGBTQ+ community and reflect on how we can continue to create a culture where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and supported—just as they are.

Belonging begins with acceptance, and it grows when we choose kindness, listen with empathy, and act with purpose. 💜

This month—and every month—we ask ourselves:
“What can I do to help someone feel like they truly belong?”

Thank you to our associates, residents, and neighbors for living out our shared values and making Asbury a place where people are empowered to live with joy and purpose.

Meet the RiverWoods Racers: Proof that it’s never too late to start something new 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

At 84, Mary Ellen Beaver didn’t learn to swim until age 40 when her husband said, “We’re jumping in, and I’ll be right here with you.” Now she’s racing in her first triathlon.

Elmer Maurer, 91, spent 40 years as New Berlin’s postmaster, but working indoors. Today? He’s out on the bike course for his first-ever tri.

And Norm Halteman, 82, a lifelong athlete with recent knee issues, sums it up perfectly: “I’d rather be part of a relay team than not participate at all!”

Three athletes. A combined age of 257. One unstoppable team.

✨🏃🏻🚴🏻‍♂️🏊🏻‍♀️💪🏻
We are so proud and excited to support or amazing Residents who are ready to compete in the Lewisburg Triathlon on May 31st!

At RiverWoods, we’re not just key sponsors of the Lewisburg Triathlon—we’re on the starting line.

Meet Mary Ellen (84), Elmer (91), and Norm (82)—three remarkable residents who are training to compete in this year’s race.

Mary Ellen didn’t even learn to swim until she was 40. Elmer, a retired postmaster, is trading stamps for cycling gear. And Norm, a lifelong athlete, is adapting to stay in the race, joining a relay team so he can still be part of the action.
These aren’t just inspiring stories. They’re proof that age is no barrier to goals, grit, and growth.

This is what looks like.
