Donna Maddox took the ride of a lifetime at age 94, racing around the Michigan International Speedway in a Ferrari and hitting 150 miles per hour—proving it’s never to late to chase your dreams.
A true daredevil at heart, she once pushed her Lincoln to 115 MPH.
“My mother used to say I came into this world running,” she joked, while reflecting on her journey.
“If you’re alive, then live.” It’s a mantra she’s followed from the start.
Donna has always been on the lookout for her next adrenaline rush and her adventurous spirit has been a constant throughout her life. She climbed the Smoky Mountains and explored caves in her younger years—always living life at full throttle.
It’s been a dream of hers to hit the speedway in her home state, whether in a Ferrari or Bugatti, and the opportunity proved that age is not necessarily a roadblock when it comes to pursuing your passion.
The adventure was made possible by a program at her retirement home, Waltonwood Twelve Oaks in the city of Novi, outside Detroit. Their Adventure Program encourages residents to pursue their dreams, and helps make it a reality.
“Donna is also such a joy to talk to and is incredibly passionate about encouraging others to chase their dreams, as well” said a spokesperson.
