Welcome to my Cross for LifeFlight Fundraising Page! This summer, I will be swimming a 6.6km "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 have selected 6.6 for a special reason: in 1966, the report "Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society" was published in the United States. This report identified a need for organized, trained pre-hospital medical personnel to treat and stabilize patients on-scene and in transit, and is regarded as the impetus for the creation of modern Emergency Medical Services. Today, trained providers work on the ground and in the air to care for all people who call for help, and are a special and integral part of contemporary medicine. 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. Last year, LifeFlight cared for more than 2,300 patients. 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. Since 1998, LifeFlight has touched the lives of nearly 33,000 critically ill and injured people from nearly every community in Maine. 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.

The time of the swim is fast approaching! This morning’s practice swim was a cool 2.2km, so just about 1/3 of what I’ll need to do to meet my swimming goal. As for the fundraising goal, that comes from folks like you, in whatever amount you can spare. Right now we’re at $225 and the fundraising minimum is $350 - that could be $13 from just 10 people. I know it’s hard these days, but this money is being raised to support the only critical care air ambulance in Maine - a profoundly essential service for anyone who lives, works, or plays in the Pine Tree State.
