He approached Derouin, who owns Paraglide Canada and has been flying for 25 years, with the idea.
“On my travels throughout the world, I’ve realized how lucky we are living in Canada, how fortunate we are to be born here,” he said. “Along my trips, I’ve realized that at one point in your life, you should try and give something back.”
The pair will fly about seven hours per day, usually before dawn and at dusk to avoid the hottest conditions. They have allotted three months for the journey.
The feat has already generated tremendous attention, and Jennings-Bates was asked recently to join Friends of Australia, a group of about 80 influential artists, athletes, business leaders and entrepreneurs asked by Tourism Australia to promote Down Under.
Discussions are currently underway to film Flight4Life for television programs. Of course, fame and adulation are not the driving force here. Jennings-Bates and his wife, Jackie, have set the auspicious goal of raising $4 million for charities to help in areas such as Africa and Central America, especially addressing issues
surrounding clean drinking water, through the Rally4Life umbrella.
“We just need to keep going and doing whatever we can,” Jackie says. “The current issues in the Horn of Africa really highlight the huge vastness of the problems that are out there. But also, it’s difficult to overcome that feeling
of not being able to make a difference because you’re up against huge numbers. … If you just focus on what you can do, one project at a time, then you do have efficiencies and you can make a difference.”
