Angel Flight™ Southeast thanks Pair o' Dice — one of our new partners in disaster relief, as we coordinated flights of supplies from their "Krewes Kare" distribution points on the Florida West Coast, flying them into the Katrina Disaster Zone. People helping people in the eye of the storm.
Physicians who fly [and there are many] know the importance of what we do. The feeling is mutual, of course, and if you'd like more information on this fine organization, visit the Flying Physicians Association [FPA] website.
The For Pete's Sake Foundation story is both inspiring and heartbreaking. It began as a personal crusade by the friends and family Pete and Beth Lyle, whose son was battling a rare disease as Beth battled breast cancer. Sadly, Beth lost her fight, but P.J. is healthy and happy following a bone marrow transplant. Now, the Foundation lives on to help other families fighting rare diseases. Long trips to the hospital are common, so Angel Flight™'s services play a vital role in the Foundation's mission.
