Even though in the year 2002 she went through a hip replacement, yet she has managed to earn 150,000 Euros post a decade of performing stunts, for which her friends and family labeled her as the crazy old woman.

A year after her husband’s death Trish began leading this out of the box lifestyle and claims that her partner would surely have encouraged her. This lady is a pro at doing almost any life risking activity and in fact her son was more nervous than her when he saw her swimming with the sharks.

Her first stunt was carried out at the Blue Planet Aquarium at Ellesmere Port, Cheshire where she swam in a pool full of sharks. Whilst, the second and third one were walking on the longest zipwire in Europe and effectuating a catapulted paraglide respectively and finally the fourth one involved 100m abseil down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.

Going back to her old days, Trish recalls her husband being a Scots Guard Major and them living in war zones with their kids Keith and Sheena, over the time she got used to the treacherous circumstances and can now differentiate between a hyped and real danger.

During the Turks-Greek war in Cyprus, the primary school of their kids was being opened fired at, and it was nearly impossible to tackle the situation. Comparing the two situations, one where her kid’s lives was in danger and the second where this fearless lady takes such risks, she says people often try to bring her moral down by saying she’s too old and that being a pensioner she should be concerned about her finances.

However, she proudly ignores all these utterances and anyway leads the life that she always dreamt of.
