WATCH 102-Year-Old Australian Lady's Epic Skydive

10:13 GMT 12.12.2018 (Updated: 10:19 GMT 12.12.2018)

Irene O’Shea started parachute-jumping when she turned 100 years old. This year the 102-year-old woman reached a milestone by becoming Australia's and the world's oldest skydiver.

The parachute jump was dedicated to O'Shea's late daughter, who had died from Motor Neuron Disease (MND). The brave centenarian decided to take the plunge from 14,000 feet (over 4,200 metres) in order to support the MND Association of South Australia and to raise awareness and funds for the matter.
