Way to Go, Grandma!
Last month Jennifer Murray, 57, became the first woman to fly a helicopter around the world. With a four-leaf clover in her pocket for luck, the British grandmother spun over 26 countries in less than 100 days, stopping only for food, fuel and rest.

She also loves kids: her amazing trip raised nearly $1 million for the charity Save the Children.
