Flight for Hope: A Journey Around the World

Inspiring a Generation

At just 15 years old, I set out on a supported flight around the world to inspire young people everywhere to chase big dreams and overcome life’s toughest challenges.
My journey showed that resilience, courage, and hope can carry you anywhere you dare to go.

A Global Mission with Impact

Flying around the world through more than 19 countries wasn’t just an adventure — it was my way of showing that challenges don’t have to hold you back.

Building on my 2024 flight around Australia for the Queensland Children’s Hospital, this world journey was about sharing my story of living with Crohn’s disease and proving that even with setbacks, you can still chase big dreams.

Along the way, I met incredible people, connected with young aviators, and saw firsthand how powerful it is when we lift each other up.

I wanted to show other kids and teens that they, too, can believe in themselves, stay resilient, and keep going — even when life gets tough.

Follow with Purpose

By following and supporting my world flight, thousands of people around the globe joined a mission that celebrated resilience, determination, and hope.

This journey became more than a flight — it became a movement of courage and connection, reminding us all that no dream is ever out of reach when you believe in yourself and refuse to give up.

"This flight isn’t just about seeing the world, it’s about showing young people everywhere that no matter what challenges you’re facing, your dreams are still worth chasing."
