Cross for LifeFlight

Welcome to our Cross for LifeFlight Fundraising Page!

On Saturday August 16th, we will be doing our 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. Belfast Masters Swimmers are swimming to celebrate our fantastic coach and raise money for an essential and life saving service for rural Mainers. Each of us has done this crossing before, swimming into super crosser status. Susan Cooney Super Crossers, aka SC²!!

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. Last year, LifeFlight cared for more than 2,300 patients. 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.

Since 1998, LifeFlight has touched the lives of more than 40,000 critically ill and injured people from nearly every community in Maine. 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 our efforts, and mostly, for supporting this critically important service.
