I am a student occupational therapist (and lapsed glider

I would be grateful if anyone with a disability who
has experienced gliding or is a glider pilot, who is
willing to relate the benefits for themselves of engaging
in the sport, could contact me at .

Many thanks for any help that can be given

There's a UK instructor named Gary (his surname escapes me) that's a
