Live your Dream
60 Things to do before you're 60

A survey by Yours magazine

With 60 being hailed as the new 40, Yours magazine asked its readers to compile ‘the’ definitive list of things to do before you hit the big six-o!

Being 60 today means you are healthier, wealthier, more confident, more energetic, sexier and longer-lived than any generation before you. Best of all you have the freedom from work and family commitments to make your dreams come true.

Valery McConnell, Editor of Yours magazine, said, “Yours readers are right up there when it comes to living life to the max and we asked them to help create the ultimate “60 must do things before 60” list.  This could include swimming with dolphins, visiting an exotic island or simply passing your driving test . . . ”

The poll, has in part, been inspired by Yours reader, Brenda Dawe, who when diagnosed with breast cancer, didn’t know if she would make it to 60.  She set herself three goals; beat breast cancer, raise money for charity and look sexy at 60. With the love and support of her family, employers and sheer personal determination, Brenda beat the disease and is today living life to the full. Having achieved all three original goals, she is now looking for new ones.

Brenda said, “I turned my breast cancer into something positive, if you set your mind to it, you can do anything. We all have dreams, so I hope that other readers will get cracking and join in”.

Lesley Garrett is aiming for Gold before she hits 60

Opera singer Lesley Garrett would like to sing at Glastonbury, clear out the junk from her cellar and get a gold medal for her ballroom dancing before she is 60.

The entire list will be published in a future issue of the magazine and the dreams of three lucky winners will come true.
