Mid-flight nap! ✈️💙

Three-year-old Reece napped comfortably while traveling with her mom and volunteer pilot Mike to and from specialty care appointments at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

Free flights with LifeLine Pilots are more than transportation; they make it possible for patients and their families to:
➡️ Reduce travel time and costs while minimizing missed or unpaid workdays
➡️ Travel quickly and comfortably for follow-up appointments and maintain continuity of care
➡️ Focus on their health and well-being instead of the journey

As a young teen, Aiden has flown with LifeLine Pilots for years now to reach specialty care at the Mayo Clinic, more than 450 miles from home.

For families like his, free flights can make all the difference. They make it possible to get to necessary scheduled medical care far from home without falling behind on school, work, and home life.

✈️ Thanks to volunteer pilot Zef, Aiden was able to make it home in time to return to school well rested the very next morning.
