You’re Never Too Old to Run…a Marathon.

Meet Buster Martin.
He is a man on the move.
Last year he was in the British band, The Zimmers, who made their way up the charts with a remake of the old Pete Townsend song ‘My Generation’. Nothing unique there, except that the band was made up of a group of pensioners with a combined age […]
