"Thrill Seeker" 80 year old Irish Granny celebrates Birthday by jumping for Charity
At 80, she is not sitting at the couch and knitting. Instead she is out with her grandchildren skydiving and that too for charity! A courageous and daring lady who goes out to what most people would consider "unbelievable" for grannies her age. Elizabeth Biddy McCormin is aiming to raise Euro 10,000 for the Wicklow Hospice Foundation. A former Nurse herself, she is concerned about the poor funds that is required to run Palliative Care services in Wicklow. As explained in her personal message in Facebook, she aims the Foundation to "build a free standing, 12 bed, level 3 hospice building in County Wicklow. This will be a Consultant led specialist service with a multi-disciplinary home care team attached, and should also include a day centre, which will give the people of Wicklow a choice about how and where they spend their final days."
She said she performed the successful 10,000 ft sky-jump and not a charity-walk or bike ride because she always led an adventurous life. Born in India, she also worked in Kenya and fondly remembers the time she spent there. The world is now amazed and inspired by this SuperGran who says she's ready to repeat her daredevil act at 90! Biddy, you are truly an inspiration.
