Welcome to my Cross for LifeFlight Fundraising Page! For the month of August, 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've committed to moving at least 1 mile every day - through swim, bike, or walk - while I am on long term lyme treatments. On August 10, I swam 1.5 miles (my longest swim ever!), with Team North Haven. I've learned so much about myself and our state's rural medical connectivity issues through LifeFlight, and have been greatly inspired by stories of friends, EMS crew, past patients, and family members who have benefited from this amazing organization. I even got to meet some of the talented crew of pilots, nurses, and leaders!
The world is a crazy place right now, and if you are able to donate any amount, I, LifeFlight, Team North Haven, and future patients will really appreciate it.
Just click on the “donate” button. Any amount is greatly appreciated. If you'd like to join me for a walk or swim, I'm in :)
Thanks so much for supporting my efforts, and mostly, for supporting this critically important service.
Thank you,
Chandra
About LifeFlight of Maine:
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—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.
