STUFF ABOUT ME:
I have one of the best jobs in the world:
I run Able Flight, the nonprofit organization that makes it possible for people with physical disabilities to become pilots. They are people who use wheelchairs, people who have lost limbs, and wounded veterans. Their stories are amazing and I get to watch their lives change forever in just a few months. Check out Able Flight here on crowdrise or at www.ableflight.org.
And check out Freedom Flight 2011. It's a project being organized and run by two of Able Flight's pilots, Heather Schultz and Sean O'Donnell. They were both paralyzed in accidents, and because of their hard work and determination, and with the help of Able Flight, they are now licensed pilots!
They will be flying a 1000 mile trip to meet with wounded vets in different cities to inspire them to overcome their own challenges. And they are asking for your help by donating any amount per mile to make it possible for wounded vets to become pilots.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
You could vote, or better yet, you can change someone's life by donating to Freedom Flight 2011 or directly to Able Flight.

Happy February, Crowdrise friend! Thank you for your support, through your donations, votes, advocacy and friendliness. You probably know all about the amazing promos that CR runs. Right now, I think the most awesome is the chance to win an iPad 2. Every time you donate $26, you are entered to win.
Your $26 donation to a Reader to Reader project would help us send 2 boxes full of books to an under-resourced library here in the states, or support special education in the DR, or get a women's school built in Nigeria, or get books to families in transition... there are plenty of choices and who knows, you might get lucky!
Happy reading,
Kat
