Ride for Angels

Please take a moment to read about Ayah's journey from Copenhagen, Denmark to Texas and how AFNE helped her and her family travel safely to receive the specialized care she needs.

We are so blessed to be part of beautiful Ayah's journey from Copenhagen, Denmark to Medical City Children's Hospital in San Antonio, TX for treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy. With the generous support of the Alexion Charitable Foundation that supports patients with rare and ultra-rare diseases, our mission coordination team worked for several weeks to book commercial flights for Ayah and her family to travel safely the 5,300 mile journey. Ayah is featured in this week's Thankful Thursday, please take a moment to read about her incredible journey - https://mailchi.mp/b31b2865c664/afne-thankful-thursday-september16-ayah-sm

While we are unfortunately not holding our Ride for Angels this year, the Emmaus House is holding their Annual Cycle for Shelter and is offering those who have participated in our ride to join them with a discount using the code "angel21" and save $15 on your pre-event registration fee. To learn more about the event, visit their website - http://events.emmausinc.org/site/TR?sid=1050&type=fr_informational&pg=informational&fr_id=1170

We may not be having the Ride for Angels this year, but the need to support our mission is still appreciated. With many patients deferring their treatments over the past 15+ months, the need for our free air transportation services is even greater as they begin to return to their medical care and treatment.

Take a moment to meet this week's Thankful Thursday patient, Landon. With generous and compassionate support from JetBlue, this two-year old adorable guy & his family were able to travel from Ellenton, FL to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for Specialized Treatment. https://mailchi.mp/a829e6d3bccb/afne-thankful-thursday-july22-sm
