United Airlines Employees Care

United Airlines Employees really care!!   And…they are making a big difference in helping all the children afflicted with Niemann-Pick Type C disease.
UAL
employee contributions through the United We Care employee giving program has had a significant impact on the research funds that will save Kevin and all these children.
Since October, 1997, United Airlines employees have donated in honor of Kevin Eadie $700,000 to the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation to support accelerated research that will find a cure for NP-C
.   Thank you so much!  Please help us continue this fight.

Kevin’s mom is a Flight Attendant for United Airlines who is based in Washington, DC.   Kevin’s dad is a pilot for United Airlines.   Knowing that United Airlines employees are very caring, Kevin’s parents reached out to all of their fellow employees and asked for their embrace of this great and urgent cause.
For those of you who have helped Kevin and the other children over the past 8 years, we cannot thank you enough.   Please accept our sincere appreciation for helping to save Kevin and all these wonderful little kids.  Kevin is still doing relatively well.  He is very smart and happy.   However, Kevin is showing subtle changes in his eye movement and his balance. Time is so critical for him and the other children.

Will you help Kevin ….and so many other children worldwide who are suffering and dying from this neurodegenerative disease? Please consider checking the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation that is printed on the United Airlines Employee Giving pledge form.  The giving program begins on October 1st for charitable payroll deductions for the following year.

No amount is too small or insignificant!  (There are over 19,000 flight attendants at United Airlines.  Can you imagine if only half of them gave each pay period the amount of tipping two van drivers or one cup of Starbucks coffee…how that could significantly benefit the research??   That would total approximately $38,000 a month for research...that's $464,000 a year !!   - Just by giving the equivalent of two cups of coffee a month.)
Another way you can help is by direct donations here to the Kevin Eadie Trust, to the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation or the National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation  you can also click on the life-saver link

My sincere thanks to all the wonderful and caring people at United Airlines who have responded so generously to helping Kevin and all the NP-C children.  We are making a big difference.  As your fellow employee, and Kevin’s mother, I will be forever grateful to all of you for your generosity.  

With sincere gratitude,
