Moving Forward, Together

It started with a simple goal: to get moving again. When Shaun Forester, son of Parkland Ancaster resident Arthur Forester, realized he was out of shape, he decided to make a change and to help his dad do the same.

Arthur was once quite active but had slowed down after a fall and shoulder injury. The two began their wellness journey in November 2024, focusing on small, consistent steps forward.

Over a year later, Shaun has lost 40 pounds and feels stronger, healthier, and more motivated than ever. The biggest reward, though, has been the shared commitment. On days when one of them doesn’t feel like exercising, the other provides the push to keep going. That mutual accountability has boosted both their physical and mental health.

His advice: don’t overthink it – just start. Even 15 minutes of movement can make a difference and help you feel better every day.
