"As long as you are capable, you ought to use what God gave you," says Borden. "He left me here for a reason, and with enough of a mind to do what it is I'm supposed to be doing. If I were to quit, I might last a year, but probably not over six months," he adds. "I have to use a walker because of old age, so there's not much else I could do except sit in my house. Why do that when I can not only enjoy life, but help some people?" (Photo: Rick McKee)
