"Life has been so hard since we found out our daughter was ill, the hospice has been hard to accept, we never thought that we would be able to have days like this; to be with other parents who understand has been so positive. We do not know what the future holds but this day will give us lasting wonderful memories."

"Thank you very much for a truly amazing day. We rarely have an opportunity to do things as a family outside the home due to Adam's disabilities. To fly and to feel the freedom of the sky, and yet still have him with us, has given us all memories that will last forever... Thanks for everything!"
"fly2help didn't see the disability of my two children, only their ability to be thrilled by the experience of flying"
"We really felt like VIP's for our private flight over to Wales and Nicole hasn't stopped talking about it! Good luck with your fundraising efforts, it would be great to know that other children like Nicole will get to experience the thrill of flying with fly2help"
"I was overwhelmed yesterday at what great lengths fly2help had gone to, to ensure maximum excitement and wow factor! The smooth running and professionalism of the day was a credit to you and your team..."
"This day was indeed complex to arrange and manage and every member of your team's dedication to making it such a success was just so obvious."
"Everything was great, especially your hospitality. It was very overwhelming and has meant a great deal for us to see our daughter smile, and to meet such good, happy people."
"Today has been fantastic! My sister is so lucky to be able to have this experience and what everyone does is fab, you have really made her dreams come true. Thank you very much, you do an amazing job!"
"Everyone put the children and their families first and committed their time, energy and enthusiasm, together with working alongside teams from other organisations, it is clear what an achievement the fly2help team has made. It has been a true pleasure to work with you all and to be able to share with you the difference you have made to these very special, very courageous families. Memories like these, as you now know will all too soon become priceless jewels in a family's memory box, when sadly they will only have memories of their special child left. Thank you all for creating this special memory."

"Because he was so relaxed we were able to relax too, plus it was something very different from our normal routine. He appeared to enjoy the flight very much, very quiet and taking everything in such as the view and the new sensation. Because everyone was so friendly, helpful and accepting of him it helped us to relax and enjoy the day."
"A great experience for him in the hands of people he feels safe with. The time with his Dad was lovely and the whole social occasion, which can be difficult, was made very relaxing and a positive experience."
