Dear Fellow Flyers

As some of you would be aware, 2 years ago I flew for 9 days straight on Qantas flights to raise 130k for the Childrens Hospital at Westmead Cystic Fibrosis Clinic. I have decided to give it another crack. Only this time we are making it even more challenging. I will fly with Qantas for 10 nights and 11 days without leaving a plane or airport. It will cover about 140,000km over 160 hours in the air.

Qantas have been terrific to support this and provide a platform for others to support this . It will begin on 7 Nov. It will involve HKG return, JFK return via LAX, PER return, JNB return, DRW return, LHR return via DXB and finally SCL return. There should be a piece in Qantas Way in October.

My aim will be to again raise in excess of 100k for a full time researcher to build on from the mass spectrometer machine purchased with the proceeds of the last flying marathon.

Once all ticketed , I will set up a fundraising page and let you know details.

I will take any support or advice you can offer !
