The daredevil completed the jump on her 30th birthday after fearing she would be unable to walk by then
Evie Meldrum defied the odds by jumping out of a plane on her 30th birthday after fearing she would be unable to walk by then.
As a teen Evie knew very little about the neurological condition and remembers thinking: “I’ll probably be in a wheelchair by the time I’m 30." “I was thinking about what it meant to let go of control - the courage it takes to do something like this but also the ability to fall and trust somebody else and let go of control and not be able to control everything.
She said: “I feel like I hadn’t really fully processed the fact that I was about to fall 15,000ft from a plane.
