Bader Braves is a new concept inspired by Douglas being made a Chief of a Canadian Indian Tribe, and the bravery of children with limb loss and other physical or learning disabilities in their efforts to live normal lives.
The programme will support these children (and their families) by offering unique experiences and improving life-skills to increase confidence.
We offer 5 Flying Days, giving children who have lost limbs and physically disabled youngsters from 6 - 16 the opportunity of experiencing flight in a light aircraft.
