DeKALB – Two years ago, Jim Rogers fell in his daughter’s bedroom and broke his neck. Since then, he has been at the Bethany Health Care and Rehabilitation Center, trying to regain his balance.

“They say when you break your neck, you die,” Rogers said. “So I guess I’m a living corpse.”

The Bethany staff described Rogers as being very active for a 91-year-old, which is why he was honored as one of the national ambassadors for this year’s WALK! with Aegis Therapies, a weeklong program dedicated to helping seniors stay active.
