LifeLine Pilots

✈️ Meet our Mission Coordinator, Annette Fisher! Annette was born in St. Paul, MN but grew up in Washington, IL. She later moved to Chillicothe, IL, where she worked for a car dealership in the service department for 18 years. Annette began working at Lifeline pilots in 2015. As Mission Coordinator, she works with the patients who need to travel long distances for lifesaving medical care. Some daily duties include managing patient information, planning the flights, recruiting volunteer pilots, and relaying information between pilots and patients. “The most rewarding part of being a mission coordinator is knowing you are helping a patient travel with less stress when they need specialized medical care in another state and are having a difficult time getting there either financially or medically. It’s the opportunity to help someone receive life saving medical treatment which enables them to live a better, stronger, happier life!” We are so thankful for everything Annette does to make our missions possible. 💙#wonderwednesday

✈️ On this #wonderwednesday, meet our Chairman of the Board, Andy Zich! Andy grew up in Altoona, Wisconsin and earned a degree in Electrical Engineering at University Wisconsin Madison before moving to Peoria. He joined the Lifeline Pilots board of directors in 2015 after volunteering as a pilot, and has been flying for 12 years. Andy has had a passion for flying for as long as he could remember, and feels incredibly fortunate to be able to use his hobby to help others through Lifeline Pilots. Andy described a favorite Lifeline Pilots memory of his. “Traveling to the University of Iowa hospital and meeting two of our patients on their final care visit, their families and the medical staff that have cared for them for several years. The patients were both from Africa and it was an honor to see first hand what 5 nonprofits working together were able to do for these young patients.” Pictured are a team of volunteers with patients Ainata from Burkina Faso, Africa at age 7 and Yvan from Ivory Coast, Africa at age 5. If you are a pilot and would like to volunteer for Lifeline Pilots, fill out our volunteer pilot application on our website. 💙
