Sky diving senior


On my theme about living longer and fuller lives; A good friend of mine recently asked me if I had tried skydiving in the Emirates. Unfortunately, I have not parachuted since 1984, but I guess I could still pick it up again when I retire! (if my wife lets me!...)
Look at Dilys Price, 72, from Cardiff, who runs the Touch Trust, a charity which uses music, movement and massage to help people with disabilities.
At 54 she took up sky-diving and she describes herself as "an adrenaline addict".
"I do think there is prejudice about ageing but if you have a passion for something you can push through the doors," she says.
