Gareth will be joined by a team of people who have never parachuted before but who all have one thing in common, they are all over 60.
One member of his team is Spencer Bartlett from Cardiff . Spencer is 65 years old and is married with four children. He retrained nine years ago as a Teaching Assistant and now works at Ysgol Ton-yr-Ywen in Cardiff . He’s
