102-year-old granny jumps out a plane for charity

A 102-year-old Australian granny has become the world's oldest tandem skydiver, according to organizers, as she leaped off a plane from over 14,000 feet (4,200 meters) above sea level.

Irene O'Shea hoped to raise funds and awareness for the Motor Neurone Disease Association of South Australia (MNDSA) through the attempt, after she lost her daughter to the disease a few years ago.

O'Shea first skydived on her 100th birthday and dived again in 2017 for the same cause, according to the organisers SA Skydiving. —Reuters
