Next time you need some inspiration, look up. That's probably where you'll find one of Morning Express with Robin Meade "Breakthrough Women."

Cheryl Stearns holds several parachuting records:

  • 25 time U.S. Parachuting Women's Champion
  • 3 time military Parachute Champion
  • 2 time WORLD Champion
  • Most jumps for any woman in the world
  • Most jumps in a 24 hour period by a woman

U.S. Parachuting Team manager Lindy Leach says Stearns is a Breakthrough Woman because "[other women] see where she started so young, and she had the vision of where she wanted to go.  She didn't let anything stop her from getting there."
