Cross for LifeFlight

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'm planning to walk the length of Islesboro (about 14 miles), swim across Seal Harbor and bike up and down the island four times without stopping.

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. Now in its 25th year as Maine’s only air ambulance service, LifeFlight has served more than 36,000 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.
