Lois Marshall celebrated her 75th birthday with a tandem paraglide for Wessex Cancer Support;
“I started doing sponsored charity events when I turned 60. Wondering what to do for my 75th, I noticed the charity’s paragliding challenge. Like many of us, I’ve known lots of people who lives have been affected by cancer, so I thought I’d pluck up my courage and take it on! It was absolutely brilliant and I loved every minute. You’re never too old to take on a new challenge.”

Date: Friday 27th and Saturday 28th June 2025 (Individual flight times will be confirmed nearer the time)
Location: Petersfield, Hampshire
