Thursday, October 16, 2014, 4:26 PM - Cliff Dadson is the epitome of living life to the fullest. The ninety-four-year-old became Britain's oldest college grad last year, and he recently completed a skydive in support of a children's charity.
Dadson -- a resident of Cumbira, UK -- has supported the Action for Children charity for three decades -- a nation-wide organization works with over 300,000 kids and their families to overcome abuse and neglect.

In September, Dadson raised awareness and funds for the charity by jumping from a plane flying more than 4,000 metres above the ground.
This man with a heart of gold and nerves of steel is no stranger to high stress situations: During WWII, he served in the Royal Air Force an electrical engineer.
Then, at the age of 93, he earned a BA in Arts from Open University.
He says he used skydiving as an opportunity to celebrate his upcoming 95th birthday.
Dadson is writing a book about his life experiences. We have no doubt it will be a fascinating read.
