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 hope to bike close to 500 miles around the Blue Hill Peninsula where I live, visiting each of our small communities' fire departments and ambulance services to celebrate the ever-important work of our First Responders and the role they play in caring for their neighbors before LifeFlight arrives.
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.
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 depend on LifeFlight to be there for them. For the past seven years, I have been fortunate to be part of the LifeFlight team working as a Flight Nurse and Clinical Educator based out of the base in Bangor.
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.
For every 100 miles I ride, I am going to donate $50 more dollars to the campaign. Keep an eye on my progress!!
