Leanne ''I'm very grateful for the opportunity to do the Grand Canyon hike for Flying Start. I love a challenge and I'm excited to push myself for a great charity and try and raise as much money as possible''

Chelsea: ‘I’m nervous but equally excited to start fundraising and training. To be able to tick off a bucket list dream while raising money for an incredible charity if beyond belief. I’m so grateful for the opportunity and I hope together we can raise a remarkable amount for Flying Start’  

Laura " I'm very excited and grateful to be selected for such an amazing opportunity, all for a great cause! Flying Start is such an amazing charity that changes lives and its great to be a part of it all. "

Demi '' I’m super excited and very grateful to be given the opportunity to take part in this incredible challenge. A once in a lifetime experience, all for a great cause! Whilst the challenge will be tough, the funds raised will ensure that our Flying Start charity can continue to help as many disadvantaged young people across the world have the best possible start to life.
