Angela, what made you decide to fly round the world in a helicopter?

I’m sorry I didn’t do it years ago, because it was such a wonderful experience.

But the main purpose for going was to collect ￡500,000 for sick children by getting different companies to pay us money for each kilometre that we flew.

Yes, the thing about growing older is that you don’t feel any different inside, so you have to do as much as you can while you can.
是的，随着年龄的增长，你的内心感觉不到任何不同，所以你必须在你能做的时候做尽可能多的事情。
I’m healthy, and my own children are grown up, so I was free to go.
