FARMINGTON—It’s never too late for adventure. Three residents of Legacy House of Park Lane senior living community in Farmington proved that when they checked off their bucket list the dream of skydiving. The trio took the leap recently at Skydive Utah in Erda.

The skydiving was part of the “No Regrets Club” at Legacy House of Park Lane. It was created to give residents the chance to fulfill dreams and conquer their fears through experiences they thought were out of reach. 

Residents in the club share their bucket-list dreams and the team works to bring them to pass. 

Wanda Harker decided to skydive as a way to focus on something exciting during a difficult time as she watched her husband transition into memory care. 

Harker was born in 1942 and raised nine boys. She is originally from Idaho Falls but has spent most of her life in Farmington, a release said. 

“I’m not getting any younger and I just need a challenge,” said Harker. This is way out of my comfort zone.”

Corey Ponder, a 47-year-old resident has lived with Cerebral Palsy throughout his life but that hasn’t dampened his adventurous nature, the release said.

“I like to live life on the edge and I don’t get to do that as much anymore,” said Ponder. “When this opportunity came up, I thought ‘why not?’”

Retired electrician Dave Cox joined in the fun with Harker and Ponder. Despite living with Parkinson’s disease for more than 30 years, he is determined to keep looking for adventure.

“I’ve never done it. Sounds like a blast,” Cox said. “I’m a thrill seeker and I’ve had Parkinson’s for 30 years so I’ve had to adjust my thrill seeking. I’m so proud to go with Corey.”

 “At Legacy House of Park Lane, we believe life should continue to be filled with excitement, growth and meaningful experiences,” said Shauna Chavez, executive director. “The No Regrets Club is about helping residents pursue dreams they may have put on hold and reminding them that it’s never too late to do something extraordinary.”
