Skiers I'm sure are happy! This is nice fluffy white powder - perfect for skiing. I remember way back when I used to ski on days like this at Big Tupper. I wish I could still ski but my balance is shot from my brain injury so that would not work. Just walking is a challenge at times. But I'm not complaining, happy to be able to do what I can do. Better than dead for sure! If you start there, it's all good!
Yesterday I sent yet another note and a small donation with gratitude to my friends and saviors at North Country Life Flight. I told them they have given me the greatest gift ever; I'm so thankful for the work that they do every day. They may tire of hearing it but I remain grateful and I'll never stop thanking them. And I'm pleased to be part of their effort now. Hopefully my volunteer work with them will help keep their service strong and ready for the next patient in need. With trauma centers hours away by ground ambulance their mission is critical for survival and minimizing disabilities. I'm living proof of that.
If you would like to support the lifesaving mission of NCLF, you can send them a tax-deductible contribution. A gift of any size will help and be appreciated. Mail to: North Country Life Flight, P.O. Box 994, Saranac Lake, NY 12983. For almost 20 years they have been "neighbors helping neighbors."
The photo below was taken by Al Lambert at the Fletcher Allen Health Care helipad in Burlington, VT. This is where I was flown for treatment in May 2005. From the pad a ground ambulance picks you up and takes you to FAHC. I received (and paid) a bill for that ground ambulance. Lucky for me and others, North Country Life Flight does not bill its patients, thanks to generous support from those who value its mission.
