As people grow older, health setbacks and changes in their physical and cognitive abilities can bring unexpected challenges. But for some, ageing does not mean giving up the things they love or stepping back from life.

At 76, Esther Sim has battled breast cancer three times, recovered from a serious back injury and is now navigating pre-dementia. Despite these challenges, she continues to paddle with a dragon boat team and give back to the community.

So what does it take to stay resilient in the face of life's uncertainties, and how can older adults adapt when life takes an unexpected turn?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Esther Sim, breast cancer survivor and member of the Breast Cancer Foundation's Paddlers in the Pink dragon boat team, about navigating life's challenges and finding the strength to keep going.
