Local speaker and author Lori Campbell announces the release of her new book, Awaken Your AgePotential, this month. Campbell, a gerontologist, explores what makes some people thrive as they age, examines the lives of ten aging “thrivers” and shares what they do to enhance their lives.

Signed copies of the book will be available at the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Health and Fitness Expo, October 5 and 6, at the St. Paul RiverCentre. On October 5, blue-ribbon baker Marjorie Johnson, one of those profiled, will be on site from noon to 8 p.m. to sign copies of the book. On October 6, marathon record-holder Jerry Johncock, another profilee, will sign books from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Johncock started running at age 50 and so far, at 84, has run 114 marathons. He plans to run on October 7 to make it 115 marathons completed.

The official launch of the book is October 16, when it will be available for sale online and in bookstores. Those who buy book via Amazon.com on that day will receive free bonus offerings valued at more than $1,500. Upon purchase on October 16 only, buyers should visit AgePotential.com and enter their receipt code on the specific page.
