A life-changing solo flight
from Australian Aviation Podcast Network Hosted by Momentum Media
On 2 July, associate professor Andrew Kornberg, senior neurologist at The Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, will set off from Moorabbin Airport on a journey around Australia in his own single-engine plane to raise $4.5 million for children with rare and complex neurological conditions. The "Fly for the Kids" campaign – similar to Andrew's previous flight in 2017 – will see him cover 27,000 kilometres over more than 50 hours in the air, in the hopes of establishing dedicated facilities and staff at the RCH for advanced therapies. Along the way, Andrew will visit patients who have been given these new treatments in an effort to raise awareness of how kids with rare conditions can be given longer and happier lives. Andrew spoke to the Australian Aviation Podcast ahead of his journey.
