 As the ageism nonsense keeps weaving it’s way into the U.S. presidential campaign, we have 100 year old Ed Marshall who’s about to parachute out of a plane to raise money for Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children.
Ed has parachuted before – almost 80 years ago! But he decided it was time “for another leap”. Here’s how the Globe and Mail newspaper covers the story: “With the help of Canadian Armed Forces veteran Adam Winnicki, Mr. Marshall will make his first jump in nearly 80 years on June 13 at Cayuga, Ont., outside Hamilton. The pair will fly UP to an altitude of 3,810 metres before free falling and parachuting back to the ground.” Ed Marshall’s on side with my plans, when he says, “People might think that’s a bit too much for someone my age. I’ve only got about 10 years or so left of my life to do this.” Love it!! I’ve made a donation to Ed's campaign, and let me recommend you do so too at: https://fundraise.sickkidsfoundation.com/edmarshall/page/ChequeDonations
