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. 

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. I was one of those patients in February, 2009 when I was flown (in a coma) from Bethel to CMMC in Lewiston after a ski accident. Since my accident I have continued to offer my support to Lifeflight in any way that I can. After all...they saved my life! This will be my fourth year of riding in the Cross and spreading the word about how we all can support Lifeflight. 

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 as I ride hundreds of miles on my bike all around Maine. 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.
