He turned his care home into an Olympic stadium ❤️

Most people only saw Jim cross the finish line… but they didn’t see everything it took to get there.

For months leading up to his 80th birthday, Jim held himself accountable every single day. Even on the days he didn’t feel his best, he showed up anyway.

And even after all that training, Jim still had doubts about whether he could finish in the time he wanted.

But on race day, his entire community showed up, including one of Jim’s old friends — Baseball Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers.

Meg, a staff member at the home, ran the entire 5K beside Jim at his request, recording him and updating him on his lap times.

She said the biggest breakthrough happened during the race itself. Jim didn’t think he’d finish in the time he did… and ended up surprising himself. 💫❤️❤️

There is one branch of medicine in which the treatment locks the door behind the patient. The drugs psychiatry prescribes for what it calls brain conditions reorganise the brain over months and years. The brain compensates. When the patient tries to leave the drug, the symptoms produced by the compensation are read by both patient and clinician as the original condition returning, the prescription is reinstated, and the cycle continues. This is the architecture of the locked door.
