Help me to get my Private Pilots Liscense

Hello EVERYONE!!!

I am a 24 year old married male from British Columbia. Remembering as far back as I can, the earliest memory that I have is that of wanting to fly. I was going to attend college for it, but was short financially. I was going to join the airforce, but I am too tall... So I pushed it out of my mind. It has cropped its way back in to the front of my brain again, and now I am "obsessed" with getting my PPL and hitting the air. One small catch, it costs $10,000 (ish) to get a PPL in Canada. The wife has put things into perspective (she said no), which is wise (I suppose) as we dont have the income to support it. So here I am...

I dont have any special circumstances, a life threatening disease, or a deformity... I am just anxious... In my "desperation" I thought to myself... If I could find10,000 people who would be willing to donate $1, that would be enough... To further that, if i found 20,000 people that only donated $0.50, that would be enough... And to further that, if I found 100,000 people that only donated $0.10, that would be enough... OK, so I need to find 100,000 people to donate a dime... Easy enough right... Cough cough cough... But then I thought about where would I be able to reach tons of people... The internet right... Millions and Millions of people are on the internet every day. So i figure, if I could find enough on here, then I would be good to go.

So my request: Would you be willing to donate money to help me learn to fly? If so, please feel free to shoot me an email at helpmelearntofly@shaw.ca.

I will be blogging my progress as it happens, and would be more than happy to provide some pics of my expierences as well should it so be desired...

Thanks in advance for your interest and support!
