Story

Welcome to my Cross for LifeFlight Fundraising Page!  Most people know that I am a retired Nurse Practitioner who practiced on the island of North Haven for 10 years. North Haven is located 12.5 miles off the Maine coast. The logistics of getting ill or injured patients to the hospital from the island community are many. LifeFlight makes it possible for critical patients to receive excellent and timely care at cardiac and trauma centers. They saved the lives of many of my patients and am grateful we have this type of care in our state. 

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.
