Scholarship
Wheelies with Wings offers the Suzi Duncan Scholarship
The Suzi Duncan Scholarship is awarded to Wheelies with Wings applicants in recognition of the courage, skill and determination of a woman (Suzi) who faced the challenges of childhood polio and went on to become a flying instructor. She initiated the concept of Wheelies with Wings and invented a hand control to make it possible for people with lower limb disability to fly. Suzi has personally raised significant funds to support participation with Wheelies with Wings. As a qualified instructor, she has also provided flying training to a number of disabled people in recent years.
