Welcome to my Cross for LifeFlight Fundraising Page!
My name is Lexi and I have had the privilege of working as a Flight Nurse/Paramedic for LifeFlight of Maine for 2 years. Between August 1 and August 31, I will be doing my own Crossing to support LifeFlight of Maine, by hiking many of the 4000 foot peaks in the state of Maine. This is not only a physical challenge, but a personal 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 42,000 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. I'm grateful to be able to work for an organization that provides such a service to the people who live in the place I call home.
Thanks so much for supporting my efforts, and mostly, for supporting this critically important service.
