60 Miles for TZ: Wings Flights of Hope Fundraiser

My name is Tim Wagner and in honor of our dear family friend, Tom Zugger, and as November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, I am creating a fundraiser and pledge to run 60 miles in the month of November to help support the cause. I will keep you all updated on my mileage and progress throughout the journey on my Facebook and Instagram as I continue to share the fundraiser.

Tom was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in the spring and has been reliant on the services of Wings of Hope to transport him to his weekly treatments in NYC at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Tom is an avid runner and has competed in numerous marathons.

Wings is a nonprofit organization in my hometown of Orchard Park, NY, giving free, convenient, germ-free flights to individuals in need of medical services out of town at no cost! Their mission is to help anyone in need. Wings has been an incredible asset to Tom and his family.

If you have not had the pleasure of meeting Tom, he is one of the kindest, most generous, and giving individuals I have ever met in my life. Before this life-changing diagnosis, he constantly donated his time and effort to help others in any way he possibly could, including myself. Whether it be coaching soccer, writing letters of recommendation, mentoring young adults, counseling troubled youth, or helping people find employment, he has touched so many individuals.

Please consider sharing or donating to support our friend Tom and help the volunteers at Wings of Hope so that they can continue their mission.

Wings Mission Statement:

At Wings, we do not want transportation to stand in the way of a patient receiving the best possible treatment available. Our volunteer pilots enjoy giving the gift of hope to so many passengers, and we are honored to be able to give someone a lift when they are down.
