'97-Year-Old Wing Walker' Becomes a Sensation After Overcoming Stroke That Left Her Unable to Speak a Year Ago

The phrase "age is just a number" truly applies in moments like this.

A 97-year-old British grandmother has amazed the world once again.

A woman is seen firmly secured to a rig on top of an airplane wing, enduring fierce winds with her entire body.

At an airfield in Gloucestershire, England, a 97-year-old woman took on a wing-walking challenge.

Wing walking is an extreme sport that involves standing or strapped to the wing of an aircraft flying at speeds of around 200 kilometers per hour. With this feat, she broke her own Guinness World Record as the world's oldest female wing walker.

The woman, who first started wing walking at the age of 87, reportedly suffered a stroke just a year ago that left her struggling even to speak.

Having returned to the skies after rehabilitation, she explained that she took on this challenge to raise funds for establishing a stroke unit at the hospital that saved her life.
