Today I read about a news regarding a 90-year-old woman Stella Gillard in the UK who proved that age is no bar after she skydived from a height of 15,000 feet. She confessed that she was not worried ahead of the jump.  She dared to do this to raise money for cancer charity.  Ms Gillard's feat has raised over 1,580 pounds for World Cancer Research. The brave pensioner undertook the jump in memory of her daughter Kathy who died of pancreatic cancer in 2012.  She told that the fall before the parachute opened was a little nerve-racking just because it was so fast but as soon as the parachute opened "it was beautiful." "I just floated down like a bird watching all the wonderful views as I went," she said.

When I read this news I was amazed not over her feat but for courage but for her thinking. In fact it proves that nothing is impossible at any age.  This is just your will and determination which makes you courageous or coward.
  
I salute these people who not only live their own life but also inspire others.
