Since being diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's at 67, Benjamin has determinedly refused to let the condition dictate her life.

Instead, she shifted to a healthier lifestyle, prioritizing balanced nutrition and consistent exercise.

Now, Benjamin is undertaking an incredible 800-mile journey from San Diego to Saint Augustine, Florida.

She is expected to complete her trek by October 5, just in time to celebrate her 81st birthday on Wednesday, June 11.
