They are both have a passion for flying and are both at similar stages in there training and are progressing from having a Private Pilot status to becoming a Commercial Pilot and this will also help them gain some essential experience on route.
They decided to dedicate the flight to two amazing ladies, Tom's Mum and a close friend of Mikes, Julie Fay who both passed away in St Catherines Hospice earlier this year. St Catherine's did an amazing job looking after them both and they are a charity dedicated to providing specialised end of life care and support to local people, their families, friends and carers.
For over 25 years they have been providing high quality hospice care, free of charge, to people living in Crawley, Horsham, Mid Sussex and East Surrey. Hospice care is based on the belief that each person is more than their illness, and that each of us has unique physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. St Catherine’s responds to the needs of each individual, helping people achieve the best possible quality of life.
To thank them and help future people attending the hospice they have decided to raise money and build awareness for the great cause.
