About Lila

Lila Lazarus lives her life at warp speed. It’s not that she doesn’t take time to smell the roses…. She’s just trying to smell as many roses as she can find.

At her core, is a belief that every day should be a new adventure. It’s not that you have to swim the Straits of Mackinac (a 5-mile swim,) although Lila did that to raise money for Mentor Michigan, it’s that creating adventures can leave you fully engaged and present. Creating adventures, aligns you with your dreams and passions and convinces you that all things are possible
