Free Airline tickets
A) Corporate Angel Network http://www.corpangelnetwork.org/
Provides free air transportation for cancer patients travelling to or from
recognized treatment centers in the United States, without regard to their
financial resources.


B) Airlifeline http://www.airlifeline.org
Airlifeline pilots assist ambulatory patients who must receive
life-sustaining treatment at a medical facility far from home and cannot
afford the cost of travel.


c) Aircare http://www.aircareall.org

Alliance and the National Patient Air Transport Helpline (NPATH)
Using their own time and general aviation aircraft, pilot members of these
organizations help patients travel to medical facilities when financial need
or other compelling circumstances would prevent them from doing so otherwise.


D) Dreamline http://www.bobiverson.com/dreamline/
Our mission is to provide free airline / vacation travel for children
currently undergoing and/or recovering from a brain tumor, cancer, or
leukemia. Founded in August of 1998 by Robert A. Iverson, Jr., our program
is underwritten by individual and corporate sponsors who donate
frequent-flyer mileage, airline perks, discount coupons, travel vouchers,
special services, and cash contributions.
