My story

 

Thank you for visiting the "youve got wings"  fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

The plan is that a team of eight Flexwing pilots fly from Perth up the coast to Darwin and then down again across to Brisbane We start July 12th and aim to finish five weeks later. This is the largest group to ever attempt this challenge. Sponsorship is being sought to benefit Leukaemia Research as members of the team have family who suffered, both recently and in the past. We want to help fund the research required to eradicate this disease.

For further information please visit www.youvegotwings.com where you can learn more about the trip itself, the aircraft we fly and the people associated with this challenge!


Australia, while it is vast, (which adds to the challenge), has the infrastructure and climate to lend itself well to a supported adventure. All associated costs are being funded by the pilots and ground crew who will be tasking themselves to fund raising as well as the rigours of the Outback.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Leukaemia Research will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.
