Can't we just accept both 'around the world' efforts each for their merits?
As for the flying effort and 'resources.' They have very clearly defined two separate funds for their fundraising. One account for anyone wishing to help donate to the trip expenses and another fund entirely devoted to malaria. In this world a child dies from malaria every thirty seconds so it is still a problem... If they can help raise awareness and funds for research by flying around the world, what's the problem with that?
While we're at it, don't forget Owen Zupp and his 'There and Back' trip around Australia in a Jabiru also in motion right now. His trip is raising funds for RFDS.
There and Back
Good to see the spirit of adventure alive and well in Australia. Go Aussie go!
