I'm so inspired by the families we serve

Mark E. Brown, CEO of Miracle Flights, said,

"During the holiday season, it's especially important to give back. Knowing so many families were provided transportation to doctors because of Miracle Flights is the best Holiday gift our staff could receive. I'm so inspired by the families we serve."

Brown would also like to encourage others to spread the word about Miracle Flights.

"If you, or someone you know is in desperate need of out-of-state medical care, please don't hesitate to contact us."
