The Ryan McShane Hope Flys Scholarship was established to recognize students with a strong involvement or commitment to overcoming adversity. Ryan McShane, at the age of 32, is a successful aviator at the top of his career and fighting every day to overcome Stage 4 colon cancer. Instead of giving up, Ryan has
charged forward using a positive attitude to beat this life-threatening disease. All he asks is for his story to inspire others.
