Dimity is a co-founder or the Amelia Earhart Foundation.
 Commenting on the expedition Paul Mantz, Miss Earhart's former technical advisor and member of the Foundation, said, there's less than a 1000 to one chance that Amelia or Noonan are alive today but it's almost as important to us now as in 1897 to discover what happened out there Amelia was too good a pilot not to have tried to save herself and her ship. Where she saw she had only an hours fuel remaining she must have attempted a landing even if it was on a desert island full of palm tFeen"
