Cross for LifeFlight

For the past two years, my Cross for LifeFlight has focused on my mom's plane crash, running 92 miles for the depth of water where the crash occurred.

This year, I'm focusing on the critical care she received after the crash.

After being transported by lobster boat, airplane, and ambulance to Pen Bay Medical Center, LifeFlight was called to transport her from Pen Bay Hospital in Rockport to the ICU at Maine Medical Center in Portland. 

So that's the plan for this year. 1 day. 100 miles. It took LifeFlight minutes to make the flight, I won't be quite so speedy. 

LifeFlight of Maine is a nonprofit organization and the state’s only emergency medical helicopter service. With three helicopters, an airplane and ground ambulances, LifeFlight brings ICU-level care directly to the patient. As Maine’s only air ambulance service, LifeFlight has served more than 38,000 patients, one life at a time, from every community and hospital in the state. 

LifeFlight plays a critical role in the “chain of survival” by connecting people to the care they need. People who live in Maine and people who visit Maine—including me—depend on LifeFlight to be there for them. I’m comforted to know that they’ll be there for me, and for my friends and family, should the unthinkable happen.

I’m going to make my crossing to support this important cause. Won’t you support it, too? Just click on the “donate” button. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for supporting my efforts, and mostly, for supporting this critically important service.
