Teen Pilot Flies Around the World To Fight Childhood Cancer
Ethan Guo is a 19-year-old Asian American pilot with a big dream and a kind heart. He aims to become the first person to fly solo to all seven continents and raise $1 million for childhood cancer research.
Ethan began flying at the age of 13 and earned his pilot’s license at 17. Inspired by his cousin’s fight with cancer, Ethan chose to use his skills to raise awareness and funds for the cause.
His journey hasn’t been easy. He was stranded in Antarctica for weeks due to bad weather and legal issues. A judge let him leave only after he agreed to donate $30,000 to a children’s cancer foundation.
As he overcomes each challenge, Ethan proves that even teens can dream big and make the world a better place.
