VIDEO: 80-Year-Old Lake Elsinore Woman Plunges From Sky For Good Cause

Lake Elsinore resident Barbara Morales is no ordinary 80-year-old.

Barbara Morales and her husband, Frank, celebrated her 80th birthday with a sky dive on Sept. 8 at Skydive Elsinore in Lake Elsinore.  

Barbara says she was inspired to make the big jump by former President George H. W. Bush and people in need at Easter Seals. Their 53-year-old son and 50-year-old daughter jumped, too.

“Our motto is to have fun, make money and make a difference,” says 82-year-old Frank. “We hope to set an example for all people that you can do what you might think you can’t.”
