Ep. 21 Mick Riddiough from Solista Charlotte By Cogir

In this heartfelt and inspiring interview, Mick shares his remarkable journey of transformation after moving into the Solista Charlotte community. Celebrated for two years of sobriety and regaining the ability to walk after a debilitating accident, Mick credits the unwavering support of the community, skilled physical therapists, and a deepening faith for his recovery. Once reliant on a wheelchair, Mick now walks independently, leads Bible study, and embraces a new, healthier lifestyle. A former pharmacist, public health advocate, and congressional fellow who helped expand vaccine access, Mick's story is not only one of personal resilience but also of a lifelong commitment to helping others. At 80, he continues to thrive with optimism, humility, and a spirit of service.
