Dick corbet, 76, has not always been a role model for wellness and an active lifestyle. Through a long and successful career as an executive and consultant in the food industry, including stints at Ralston Purina and 7-Up, Dick said his wakeup call came after a routine visit to his primary care physician. “I was having trouble digesting, and my doctor ran me through the works. He sat down with me

and told me that my stomach, heart and lungs were all covered in fat. He said I was a heart attack waiting to happen,” Dick said. With exercise and diet, Dick lost 70 pounds in seven months. His wife passed three years ago but when she was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, Dick started attending his local YMCA to build up his upper body strength so he could take care of her. Then came the total hip replacement. Dick finally decided to take care of his hip, which had been bothering him for years, and underwent surgery in August 2012. When he began his rehab at Bethesda Meadow after the surgery, he had an aggressive goal. Dick had registered for a 5K charity walk before his surgery. It was 52 days away. “Is there any way you guys can get me in shape in time?” he asked. “They told me, ‘Well, you’d be nuts to try it. But if you think you can do it, we’ll work with you on it.’” Nancybadge—and never went LaTourette away.
