Welcome to my Cross for LifeFlight Fundraising Page!
My Goal:
I am going to walk/hike as many miles in August as patients I have transported this year until August 1. As of today, that total is 115.
Why?
Working as a flight paramedic for Lifeflight of Maine is extremely rewarding to bring ICU level care to any patient, anytime, anywhere. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the foundation to fundraise for many components including new medical equipment, aviation equipment, and education tools. The foundation makes it possible to maintain a high functioning critical care service available to all of the people of Maine! Please consider donating to my page to assist in the upkeep of Lifeflight of Maine!
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 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.
