Story

British Skydiving Record!

On 25 August I jumped out of a plane over Beccles in Suffolk and became the oldest UK skydiver at 102 years of age. Why did I do this? Well, it wasn't just for fun (and it was thrilling!) but I wanted to raise money for 3 charities which are very dear to my heart.

First, there is the Motor Neurone Disease Association which does great research into this deeply cruel disease which has attacked someone very close to me.

Second, I want to support East Anglia Air Ambulance which does a sterling job of providing emergency service over a large, rural area.

And finally, but not least, my local club (Benhall and Sternfield ex Servicemen's and Village Club) which is the heart and soul of our lovely community and is in need of considerable refurbishment.

My target is to raise £10000 for each of these fine charities - I have been very touched by the donations and messages to date but please share my story and ask your friends to give generously! Never give up!

Manette Baillie

I was born in1922 and am lucky enough to have lived in Benhall, Suffolk since 1961. I play an active part in the community and people often ask me what is the secret of old age. Of course, it is luck but I would say keep both physically and mentally active and socialise!
