You know you want to, we have not decided the place just yet, but the topic of discussion is here on the HIPK FB GROUP. Come check it out and help us decided where to jam this sunday. 

As we age, many of us have a fatal flaw that can lead to a fatal fall -- we lose our balance, stability and coordination.

Stephen Jepson says he can change that for everyone. And as a bonus, he believes it can help you build brain cells, develop neural pathways and prevent or delay Alzheimer's and dementia. 

What is his prescription? Play!

Stephen believes the key to never losing your balance -- or your mind -- is in the games and activities of our youth.

Wait until you see his incredible playground!
