Dr. April Flynn is a passionate advocate for healthy aging. At 55, she is in her second year of a Master’s degree in Innovative Aging (aka Gerontology) at the University of Florida, researching ageism and writing about Senior Games culture. A retired chiropractor of 22 years, April’s commitment to wellness runs deep—she ran through two pregnancies right up to the end! Born in Canada, she was a competitive figure skater in Windsor, Ontario before earning a track scholarship to chiropractic school in Atlanta. After the pandemic canceled marathons in 2020, April shifted to sprinting and quickly found success, earning six gold medals in her first Huntsman World Senior Games. She prefers Masters competitions for their balance of athleticism and community. April believes the key to healthy aging lies in real-world social connection and purposeful living.
