Project Airtime does about 80 flights a year at its location in Salt Lake City, Utah, 40 of which are for the individuals who sign up and another 40 are for their caregivers, Santacroce said.
In January 2020, he was left paralyzed from the waist down after a landing accident. Seven months later, he started flying with Chris Santacroce and his team, who have spent the last six years helping a range of individuals reach new heights. The nonprofit takes individuals with special needs, people with brain and spinal cord injuries or other illnesses, their caregivers, the elderly and veterans paragliding for free. Santacroce told FOX News that they are looking for anyone who just "needs a boost" or is willing to "rise to the occasion."More Related News
