On 17th July 2025, Amina Ansari will be taking to the skies – quite literally – by doing a Wing Walk as part of a fundraising challenge organised by the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. She will be strapped to the top of a flying plane in full motion, soaring through the air in a test of courage and strength. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and not for the faint-hearted!

Amina is feeling nervous about the Wing Walk. She admits it's a scary thought, but she is determined to overcome her fears because she believes in the cause she is supporting – Quest for Education Foundation.
