Welcome to my Cross for LifeFlight Fundraising Page!
Between August 1 and August 31, I will be doing my own Crossing to support LifeFlight of Maine, a challenge that will symbolize the difficulties of providing lifesaving emergency medical care to Maine's many island and rural communities.
I am very excited to be participating as a member of the Grateful Patient Team! I was a patient myself when I was just 5 years old after my family and I were in a plane crash in Kezar Lake. After being under water for more than 10 minutes, I was in critical need of life-saving care. LifeFlight helped to save my life, and since then, I have continued to stay in touch with the wonderful people who work for LifeFlight. This organization is extremely important to me and my family, and I am very excited to complete my own mission to raise money for LifeFlight.
Throughout the month of August, I will be swimming, walking, and running to log miles and raise money! I am very excited to be participating in this event for the first time, and I am highly motivated to log as many miles as I can.
This summer, I also have the wonderful opportunity to work as an intern for the LifeFlight Foundation where I am developing skills in many different fields of work. The team here has been very welcoming to me, and I have already had many valuable experiences and learned a variety of new skills. I am looking forward to the rest of my time here with them, and I couldn't be more thankful for this opportunity.
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.
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.
