'I wanted to do one mad thing in my life': Cork granny takes to skies for charity

Despite a fear of heights, the sky’s the limit for Margaret O’Donovan from West Cork.

The mother of six celebrated her 60th birthday this year but she is planning a skydive to aid her two favourite groups, Courtmacsherry RNLI and Courtmacsherry Rowing Club.

“I wanted to do one mad thing in my life and this is it,” she said of her planned September 8 dare-devil skydive.
