Angels

I've been flying back and forth to Chicago over the past year for a clinical trial not available elsewhere.  My visits vary anywhere from once a month to once a week, and so the airlines have basically received every last penny in my pocket.

So, a few months ago, I decided to look into an organization called "Angel Flight" an organization of pilots that donate their planes, fuel, and their time to fly people to and from their doctor's appointments.  I cannot say enough about the people who are a part of this - other than they are selfless and compassionate.  I flew a couple of times with them over the summer and will use them on occasion in the future.  My hope is that my treatment will go so well, that I won't need to travel anymore, but these angels will be there if I do.
