Hi
My uncle has MS and is permanently in a wheelchair, no control over his movements. He is 60 in April and its his dream to get a ride in a helicopter. I emailed a few places but everyone is saying we won't be able to get him in and/or health and safety doesn't allow it(couldn't get himself out if accident) so its a no go. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas or know of a place to ask.
We are in Cork but would travel if we had to. TIA
