Betty Bromwich

Two UK TV news channels, 5 and BBC ONE West, reported on Betty Bromwich, a 97-year-old former nurse from Cheltenham who broke her own Guinness World Record as the oldest female wing walker. She initially took up the extreme sport ten years ago to raise money for charity. Both channels noted that she suffered a stroke the previous year and that she is raising funds for Cheltenham General Hospital's stroke unit. In interviews, Bromwich described her experiences, including performing loop-the-loop and barrel roll maneuvers, and stated that she plans to attempt another challenge when she turns 100. The coverage highlighted her motivation to stay active and her philosophy of not accepting the word 'can't'.
