53-Year-Old Rollergirl Ready to Rumble













Beth Hollis spends her 9-5 shift at the Akron-Summit County Library where she's worked for more than 25 years. But in the evenings you'll find her at a Rubber City Rollergirls practice match where she only answers to the name "MegaBeth" and where her teammates know not to cross her! The 53-year-old rollergirl has broken stereotypes and a few noses in the process. Hollis is proof that at any age, if you put your mind to it, anything is possible. Check out Beth's story on CNN - she talks about her realization that age is in fact just a number.
