Charitie(s) Supported: Cancer Research Uk,
My name is Aaron, and I am a seventeen year old student, in my first year of Sixth Form. After I complete my A-Levels in approximately 18 months, I hope to enrol on a course at Oxford Aviation Academy to train to become a commercial pilot for EasyJet/British Airways. Becoming an airline pilot has been my dream and ambition from a young age, and I feel as if the money needed for this course is the only thing that stands in the way of pursuing my life long passion for flying. I meet all the requirements for the course, and meet the grades necessary (I achieved 10 A*s and 2 As at GCSE). I am a determined individual who has been trying to raise the £85,000 needed for the course. The course details and cost can be found at: http://www.oaa.com/pages/schemes/easyjet#finance_figures (scroll to the bottom of the page for course fees). I have been trying to raise money through events and through a part time job in a local hotel, and I will be looking to find temporary employment in my gap year. That said, I only predict being able to raise £15k to £20k from this. Therefore, I still need to find the other £65,000 to £70,000. This is why I have turned to fundraising on this site, and I hope that you will be able to support me by donating as much or as little as you can. I just want to say thank you to those that have and those that will sponsor me, to help me achieve my dream of flying for one of the greatest airline companies in the world. If you would like any more information, please do not hesitate to contact me Thank you all
