Have you seen the story of Betty today, breaking the Guinness World Record for being the oldest wing walker after having a stroke last year?

What an inspirational woman. I am very scared of heights but seeing Betty makes me want to do something out of my comfort zone.

Yes, we saw this on the news. Betty is amazing, she has broken her own record as the oldest person to wing walk, asking the pilot to do a loop the loop and a barrel roll too.
It was quite scary just watching the video of her wing walk!

She has also abseiled down a building and completed the mile long zip wire in Snowdonia. A most remarkable woman.

Betty was raising money for the Stroke Unit at Cheltenham Hospital through JustGiving and has raised money over the years for several charities.
