102-year-old Adelaide Grandma skydives for charity

Irene O'Shea has become the world's oldest skydiver after completing her skydiving jump yesterday in Langhorne Creek, South Australia.

This isn't the first time Irene has been up in the sky either. Back in 2016, she celebrated her 100th birthday by skydiving and again a year later on her 101st birthday. 

Irene lost her daughter Shelagh at the age of 67 to Motor Neurone Disease and has raised over $12,000 for the Motor Neurone Disease Association of South Australia (MNDSA). By breaking the record this year, Irene is looking to raise a further $10,000 for MNDSA.

What a wonderful woman!!!

And ... such a worthy charity.

 

I would love to do that, if only I wasn't afraid of heights!

GOOD on her,    but not for me,   i can think of more exciting ways to go,  than jumping out of planes,   

 

Easy for her . All that extra wrinkles and skin helps her glide 

Hey Loth are you the lone ranger of phantom of the opera?

Neither 

I hope I can do that at 102.
