Skydive for Charity!

Happy 102nd Birthday Manette, what an amazing woman…what an inspiration!

Manette decided to celebrate her 102nd birthday with a charity skydive for the causes: East Anglian Air Ambulance, Motor Neurone Disease Association and Benhall Village Hall. She is officially the oldest Brit to skydive in history! An  incredible £9,000 has been raised so far!  On her 100th birthday, Manette drove a Ferrari round a racetrack at 130mph! She truly is a dare devil who deserves all the praise and is braver than most people. 👏

Manette, we all admire your bravery and thoughtfulness to complete your skydive for charity. Please watch the video below –

Inspiring words from Manette – “I’m about to go up, I’m delighted”, “I must admit I shut my eyes very firmly”, “I just want other people who are getting towards 80 and 90 not to give up anything. Just keep going”.
