· Oct 4, 2023 · NottheBee.com

This is the most awesome news of the week right here. Gotta give it up for this lady.

That's Dorothy Hoffner, 104, of Chicago.

Yes, Dorothy is 104 years old and she's more of a rebel than you are.

Dorothy Hoffner, a lifelong Chicagoan, completed a skydive at Skydive Chicago Sunday in Ottawa, Illinois, jumping from a plane roughly 10,000 feet off the ground. At 104 years old, Hoffner topped the world record of 103 years old, which was set in Sweden in 2022.

Officials with the company said they're working to have the jump certified by Guinness World Records.

Check out her dive:

 

 

 

Seriously, that's the coolest grandma in the history of grandmas.

And great form on that landing, I might add.

My favorite part about the entire article though:

Hoffner didn't start skydiving until she was 100 years old.

Her message to those who haven't tried it?

"Skydiving is a wonderful experience, and it's nothing to be afraid of. Just do it," she said.

It's never too late to chase down your dreams, folks.

Let Dorothy be your inspiration.
