We were amazed at the efforts of Stan Brock and the team of volunteers at Remote Area Medical. More than 26,000 people have volunteered their expertise since 1985 to provide free medical treatment for people in need. Take a few minutes to view the 60 Minutes video.
I spoke with Mr. Brock and was further astounded that there was little corporate sponsorship for this endeavor. PS Engineering is helping with an aging fleet of aircraft and Chili Pepper Racing is spreading the word via the RAM logo on their car as well as the RAM url.
Alstom, Brown Construction Services, FedEx, and Wells Fargo are also helping with support of various kinds.
As I watched the 60 Minutes video, produced by Henry Schuster, I was struck by the amount of equipment needed to carry out this gargantuan task: portable dentist’s chairs and examination tables, sterilized instruments, medical supplies, drugs, and everything one can imagine needed to bring relief to those of us in need.
We want to help !
It costs a great deal to feed these volunteers who are donating their hearts and skills.
We need portable kitchens, drivers, Chefs, and food.
Starting today I will be on the phone looking for people and corporations to fill this order and help Remote Area Medical, Stan Brock, and those wonderful volunteers carry out this much needed mission.
