Where Your Donations Go: How Medical Flights Are Saving Lives One Mile at a Time

The Hidden Costs of Childhood Cancer: How Travel Expenses Burden Families Seeking Treatment

Every donation tells a story — and for families facing pediatric cancer, your generosity means more than you know. Nonprofit flight services are a lifeline for children who need specialized treatment far from home. Whether it’s a cross-country flight to a top cancer center or a regional trip for follow-up care, your support funds more than travel — it provides hope.

Often its the only viable way to get a child to life-saving treatment quickly and safely. For families already overwhelmed by medical bills and emotional stress, these no-cost flights remove a major barrier to care. Your donation could be the reason a child with cancer makes it to a clinical trial, a surgery, or a round of chemotherapy that gives them a fighting chance.

If you’re looking for a way to directly affect a child in need’s life, sponsoring a flight or hosting a fundraiser in your community can have a large impact. Every mile flown is a mile toward healing — and it continues because of your support. For kids fighting cancer, these flights are more than transportation — they’re a lifeline to hope, healing, and time.
