Our History
In 2010 we asked, “How can a small sum of money make a massive impact on a debilitating disease?” And we found:
Lacking celebrity status, we were just two guys from Wall Street, and by combining:
- Our passion of flying planes
- ith an outlandish endeavor and extraordinary attempt to break records
We could make an massive impact by literally:
- Lift 100's of patients & share the joy of flying with those caged by MS
- Grab television & other media attention and allow the patients’ stories to be heard
- And encourage others to donate and join in the fight against MS
- With aid of airplanes, we can visit many countries and cities in a single trip, igniting awareness at unprecedented global scale
Then in in 2010 Andrei Floriou & Keith Siilats took off from the US in a little plane and visited 31 countries in Europe. The original mission website can be found here: (2010 Mission).
