Fly with Louis Pye in support of AYME
raised the total of £450 at AYME's money can't buy auction in October. The flight was very kindly donated by Miles Brough to Louis because of his fundraising activities for AYME and Recent Young Trier Award (Staffordshire Knot). This amazing prize saw two passengers fly over homes, land and estates of passengers, friends or family for aerial views with unlimited unique video footage and photographs taken.

"I had a great day and hope the successful passengers had a lovely time" - Louis

Stafford College

Next Steps Group

at Stafford College saw my fundraising articles in the local press. They emailed us offering their support:

"Part of the course is to follow The Duke of Edinburgh Award. For the Skill section of this award we fundraise. After reading Louis's story in The Newsletter we have decided that we would like to help him raise funds for AYME."

I have done talks and met the group who were really nice and understood more about ME for their fundraising. I also gave them cakes and they have taken lots of raffle tickets to sell too.
