Dash For A Cure: Now In The Air

CarolAnn Garrat, a 3,100-hour instrument rated private pilot, and copilot Carol Foy have embarked on their seven-day trip around the world to raise $1,000,000 for ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease); all donations will go to the ALS Therapy Development Foundation. Garrat lost her mother to ALS in 2002 and is paying for the attempt on her own. The two pilots took off from Orlando, Fla., on December 2, and the next day landed in San Diego, Calif., their first stop. Next stop: Lihue, Hawaii. Track their progress here.
