Free Airline tickets?

Sherryg683 · 10-26-2006, 09:54 AM

I've heard that many airlines will give free tickets to cancer patients needing to go for treatment. I would really like to check into the vaccine in Washington and have spoken to the lady and it seems I would qualify, but I don't have the money to fly to Washington that often. How would I go about finding the free airline tickets..any info anyone?...sherryg683

You can contact your local Komen affiliate. If their branch charter doesn't do this, the National Komen in Dallas gives out these funds if you qualify. I don't know about the airlines. You might just want to call their reservation toll free number and they might know who to call at that particular airline. The American Cancer Society also gives out this kind of money. Their toll free number is 800-227-2345.

Kind regards

Sherry,

Miracle flight for kids will fly adults also. Get on their website and you can download the forms. There are 4 that need to be filled out. They flew me to Seattle for all my vaccines. They are very nice and get back to you right away
