"Your inspirational presentation truly touched us all and even brought one or two of us to tears! You really do demonstrate the true meaning of teamwork, endurance and benevolence. Taking us with you on your journey through the trials and tribulations of your 737 challenge and what it meant to you, your family and your team, was the highlight of the day and this was reflected in the feedback from all participants."
