Not to be outdone by her 75 year-old son, 101 year-old great-great grandmother Mary Hardison sets a Guinness Book record by paragliding.
Hardison said she was shocked to learn her flight had become a world record.

Hardison said her active lifestyle has already inspired others her age to pursue similar adventures.
"Some people have said, 'Well, if you can do that at your age then there's no need for me to just sit around,'" she said. "My desire is for the elderly to keep on going. Do things as long as you are physically able. Be positive. Friends don't like a grumpy person."
