Dash For A Cure With CarolAnn Garratt


We are pleased to add CarolAnn Garratt and her web site, Dash For A Cure, to our sponsor list and home page at Ikeler AeroSpace this week. CarolAnn has completed two Round The World Flights and continues to raise money for ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) research. We applaud her mission and accomplishments.
CarolAnn Garratt and Carol M. Foy also established a National Aeronautics Association certified speed record of 115.35 miles per hour and they circumnavigated the globe in eight days, twelve hours, and twenty minutes. CarolAnn had become a member of the earth rounders association after she flew herself solo around the world in 2003. The earth rounders have one simple requirement for membership: You must fly yourself around the globe in a private airplane.
Building further on this first aviation achievement, CarolAnn decided to set higher goals and set a record to bring more attention to the cause of an ALS cure. So far CarolAnn has raised almost a quarter million dollars and still lectures around the United States selling her two books about her trips to bring in more funding.
ALS currently has no cure or treatment, but on going research is bringing us closer to the day when we can say it is treatable. And Thank you CarolAnn Garratt for supporting our mission as we support yours. Our web site traffic will become your web site traffic and will bring more funds to your cause and this cure! We are honored to have you with us.
