Support and help to the Ukrainian pilot to the next world gliding championship (WWGC2023).

Due to situation in Ukraine lasting since more than one year ago, support is crucial for Ukrainian women pilots to be able to take part in the 12th FAI Women’s World Gliding Championship (WWGC2023) (gliding’s equivalent of the Olympics) taking place 1-14 July 2023 in Spain.

The WWGC2023 organizers have reached out to potential competitors and one of them, Olena Yakymchuk, aspire to take part in the World Championship. We have already arranged a glider for her with help from “Airpull Aviation, S.L.” company and is in the process of finding camping equipment for their stay, so now we are looking for help to cover other costs. Your contributions will be a huge support for Olena to represent Ukraine at the World Championship.

The competition will not only showcase the world’s top sportswomen, but also serve to inspire, grow, and build a community of women pilots. Giving this Ukrainian pilot the opportunity to represent her country at the World Championship, it will demonstrate the support of the international community at this hard time for Ukraine.

Costs that will be incurred for participating at WWGC2023 include entry and launch fees, accommodation and glider hire. No contribution is too small - every 15 € will buy one night of accommodation and every 75 € will launch Olena into the air!

Estimated costs for 1 pilot:
• Entry fee: 945 €
• Aerotow: 1.350 € (75 € per flight, 13 competition days + 5 training)
• Glider rental: 1.350 € (75 € per day, 13 competition days + 5 training)
• Accommodation & electricity at camping: 375 € (20 days)

We also want to thank WWGC2022 organizers and specially Liz Sparrow, who have helped with the 448 £ left from last year´s fundraising.

Since the platform charges transaction fees, we are raising more funds to make sure the expenses of Olena will be covered sufficiently. Your donation will be transferred directly to the bank account of the Championship management company “Airpull Aviation”. If we exceed our target, the additional funds will be saved for the next Women’s World Gliding Championship.
