Dr. Tammera Holmes: A Beacon of Hope in Aviation, Now Fighting Her Toughest Battle

For years, Dr. Tammera Holmes has been a guiding light in the aviation community, tirelessly paving the way for future pilots and aviation professionals from kindergarten to career. Her dedication has touched countless lives, creating opportunities that benefit both students and the industry. Now, Tammera faces her most challenging flight yet - a battle against a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer.

The Unexpected Turbulence
In June 2024, Tammera received a diagnosis that changed everything. As a wife, mother, daughter, sister, mentor, and beloved friend, her impact reaches far beyond her professional achievements. The wisdom and love she shares has enriched lives across the globe. Today, we have the opportunity to rally behind her and provide the support she so desperately needs.

The High Stakes of This Journey
Tammera's fight against cancer is as complex as it is crucial:
  • Multiple chemotherapy regimens have been necessary due to the aggressive nature of her cancer
  • Consultations with top medical institutions are ongoing, as her specific strand of cancer is rare with limited treatment data
  • The physical, mental, and emotional toll of her illness has temporarily grounded her from work, adding financial pressure to an already stressful situation

Your Chance to be Tammera's Co-Pilot
Now is our moment to give back to someone who has given so much. Your financial support will directly impact Tammera's battle by covering:
  • Out-of-pocket costs for specialized cancer treatments
  • Family expenses during this challenging time
  • Transportation to and from medical appointments
  • Any additional needs that arise on her journey to recovery
By contributing, you're not just funding medical care - you're fueling hope, strength, and resilience. Every dollar brings Tammera closer to victory over cancer and back to her passion of nurturing the next generation of aviation professionals.

Let's Help Tammera Soar Again
Your generosity today will allow Tammera to focus solely on her healing journey, free from the added burden of financial stress. Together, we can ensure that this inspiring leader in aviation education has the resources she needs to overcome this challenge and return to the work she loves.

Join us in this powerful act of giving. Let's show Tammera that just as she's uplifted so many, we're here to lift her up in her time of need. Your contribution, no matter the size, is a crucial part of Tammera's flight plan to recovery.

Thank you for being part of Tammera's support crew. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference in her fight against cancer.
