parachute jump and she told the paper: &quot;I get car sick and I am afraid of heights so I'm still not sure why I'm doing this.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Ms Hoten observed that as long as she can bring a smile to one face, then it will all be worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>The woman &ndash; who has also been named as the Lake District's wartime sweetheart &ndash; has roped her mum in to do the jump.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Hoten
