Book Donations:

Many hundreds of people have donated from $20 to $50 and received a copy of Upon Silver Wings.  This new book, just published in June '04, tells the whole fascinating story about the adventure.  100% of the revenue goes to ALS-TDF, researching a cure for Lou Gehrig's disease.

It is no longer possible to list the people who are donating to ALS Therapy Development Foundation; but you all have our many thanks for your support.

Sponsors:

Carol Ann is extremely grateful to the generous sponsors and friends who have helped make this adventure possible.  The most important aspect has been the information, recommendations, and suggestions provided by pilots who have done this trip, ferry operators, experienced mechanics, other experienced pilots and controllers, helpful friends, and the many friends providing lodging.  They are recognized here for their invaluable contribution.
