Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m running the Lydd Half Marathon on 29th March, raising money for Aerobility.

Aerobility is an aviation charity that changes lives by allowing anyone, with any disability, to experience the magic of flight. The organisation focuses on three core pillars: Flying, Education, and Advocacy all with the goal of making aviation more accessible. Through adapted aircraft, virtual flight simulators, classroom sessions, funded programmes, and more, Aerobility harnesses the positive and often powerful impact aviation can have on people living with disabilities. Made up of dedicated volunteers and staff and operating across four UK bases, the charity encourages disabled individuals to ask themselves, “If I can fly an aeroplane, what else can I do?”.

At Lydd Aeroclub, where I help out on the Operations Desk, I have experienced the collaboration with Aerobility at first hand and seen the difference it makes for people.
