@femalequotient 97 never looked so FUN 🤩 One year after suffering a stroke, Betty Bromage broke her own Guinness World Record as the world’s oldest female wing walker. Since the age of 87, she’s completed six wing walks, using this year’s challenge to raise money for the stroke unit at Cheltenham General Hospital in England that cared for her. “I’d just get bored of life otherwise,” she said. “I want to do the things I can do.” Betty says she’ll have to think of something special when she turns 100. She’s already setting the bar pretty high.
