Welcome to my Cross for LifeFlight Fundraising Page!
As a crew member for LifeFlight I routinely see the challenges of delivering high quality critical care across rural Maine. People are the heart and soul of LifeFlight, and that includes the people that choose to financially support our non-profit foundation. Donations from individuals who believe in LifeFlight, just as much as each of us who work there, provides our crew with some of the best equipment and education in the world. This support is a catalyst for those of us inside the organization to be there when you need us.
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. My goal is 104 Marzonie powered miles, 1 mile (plus that 1 extra) for each patient I’ve transported in 2024 (1/1-7/31).
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.
