I’m doing the Cross for LifeFlight because I love a LifeFlight pilot, and I’ve met many of the people whose lives he’s helped save.
Last year, I said I’d commit to doing however many miles my husband flew the next night. He ended up flying almost 600 miles. I did not run/walk/golf 600 miles. But husband and all of LifeFlight continue to cross the state—every day and night—for you.
The people of Maine depend on LifeFlight for critical care. LifeFlight, a non-profit, also depends on the people of Maine. This is our chance to give back.
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.
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 40,000 patients, one life at a time, from every community and hospital in the state.
Thanks so much for supporting my efforts, and mostly, for supporting this critically important service.
