A friend of mine who happens to be a Francophone skydiver from Quebec only took up the sport a few years ago. She’s someone who impresses me. She has her motorcycle license, she has her skydiving license and she’s just an overall “bad ass” woman. She gave me permission to post an article that she wrote up for Canpara (Canadian version of Parachutist) This is the article: Skydiving in your early 50s?
