WWC committee members

Linda Borgmeyer is the founder of the Wisdom Warrior Challenge event (WWC). The WWC was born in 2019 out of her desire to dispel myths about aging and the limitations that follow this narrative. Linda believes (and the science supports) that we have much more control over how we age and that making different choices for our physical and emotional health will enhance the “golden years.” This event is near and dear to her heart because she developed the idea after receiving feedback from 18 seniors, aged 72-92 years old whom she trained to compete in a local 5k.

 

Linda is also the co-owner of Novoleo Therapy and Fitness, a home-based Physical and Occupational Therapy provider for Medicare. She has been an Occupational Therapist for over 3 decades and has a Master in Kinesiology with a concentration in geriatric exercise science.​

Caroline Arndt has been in the seniors and nonprofit sectors since 2006. The majority of her contributions have involved bringing a variety of mobile ancillary services to tens of thousands of seniors and children in long-term care facilities and schools. She has always had a commitment to help others not just live longer, but live healthy longer. This commitment led her to form Sun Kind of Living, LLC, a platform designed to raise awareness among adult children and seniors about the multitude of incredible support and self-care resources dedicated to seniors.

 

Caroline is also a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) and the owner and Broker of Sun Kind of Living Realty, LLC. In this role, she connects adult children and seniors with carefully screened and trusted real estate agents in their local community. However, Caroline strongly believes her role extends far beyond real estate and downsizing needs. Serving as a friend and advocate to seniors, she finds joy in cultivating a healthier community connecting individuals with events and resources, like the Wisdom Warrior Challenge, that promote health and wellness and social interaction.
