As her photograph shows, there appeared to be no nerves as Aimee was all smiles during her adventure.

Congratulating her, Linda Stewart, the home’s wellbeing coordinator, said: “Aimee’s outstanding achievement reflects not only her adventurous spirit but also her incredible talent for making a positive impact. Aimee, we stand in awe of your accomplishments and are bursting with pride.

"Thank you for being the beautiful soul that you are and for enriching the lives of our residents through your selfless dedication.”
