Fly2help provides confidence, scholarships

Fly2help is a charity lifting the spirits and horizons of people suffering from life threatening and chronic illnesses, families who have suffered tragedy, and those who are working to recover a sense of self-worth.

Established in the UK in 2006, the charity offers flight lessons to individuals, groups and like-minded charities. They say their core focus, however, is disadvantaged youngsters, "...with whom we aim to inspire imagination, determination, self-esteem and confidence."

And what is more confidence boosting than soaring through the clouds? Perhaps a scholarship. Fly2help offers those too. Early next year they will select winners of their 2009 Aviation scholarship to help even more people participate in their program.
