80 Years Young – and Walking on Wings

Sheila Norris is raising money for Thornberry Animal Sanctuary

Team: Thornberry Wing Walkers

Thornberry Animal Sanctuary is an independent charity established in 1988. We rescue abandoned and neglected animals across South & West Yorks, NE Derbyshire & North Notts. We rehome hundreds of dogs, cats, rabbits and horses annually, and rely solely on donations and fundraising to continue.

Story

At 80 years old, most people are putting their feet up.

Not me.

On Sunday 23rd August, I’ll be taking part in a wing walk — yes, standing on the wings of a flying plane — to raise money for Thornberry Animal Sanctuary.

I may be 80, but I still believe in doing things that matter. Thornberry does incredible work caring for animals who have nowhere else to go, and I want to do something bold to help support them.

I’ve had a wonderful life full of family, love and adventure. Now it’s time to create another memory — one that hopefully makes a real difference.

If you’ve ever thought “I couldn’t do that” — you’re probably right! I’m slightly wondering that myself! But sometimes we have to step outside our comfort zone for a good cause.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Thornberry continue rescuing and caring for animals in need.

So here I go… 80 years young and walking on wings!

Please support me if you can — and wish me luck!
