Hero’s Wish is literally off to a flying start, with Ken’s wish to fly in a biplane being fulfilled!
Ken, a resident at Vasey RSL Care Bundoora, was presented with a boarding pass for a very special flight to celebrate his 100th birthday in February!
The venue was Tiger Moth World at Torquay, and Pilot, Grant, told us that it is not often that the passenger is older than the plane.
“Ken drew the line at doing a loop-the-loop,” said Bundoora Lifestyle Coordinator, Linda. “Although afterwards, I think he almost wished he had.”
“It is a real pleasure to be in a position to grant Hero’s Wishes to those who have done so much for our country,” said CEO, Janna Voloshin.
Other Hero’s Wishes are planned for the next two months and if you can spare a few dollars, we would be grateful for all donations to help make sure no wish goes unfulfilled.
This is your chance to show how you feel. Donate today to grant a Hero’s Wish.
