American Airlines hosts 27th Annual TSRHC Amputee Ski Trip

March 14, 2008 - PRLog -- Fourteen teenage amputee patients ( http://www.tsrhc.org/default.asp?contentID=105 ) spend a week at the National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) in Winter Park, Colo.  TSRHC chaperones, patients and their families gathered at the send-off party in the American Airlines Admirals Club at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

The annual ski trip is part of the hospital’s continuing effort to improve the lives of patients.  The generous support of American Airlines, AA.com, Smith Group Asset Management and the Admirals Club made this trip possible.  TSRHC thanks American Airlines for providing transportation for the patients, medical staff and the chaperones for this life-changing experience.
