Attention NAASF members. The annual summer meeting will be held via ZOOM on Thursday, June 25th, at 8pm eastern. If you would like to take part in the meeting, please contact your team captain for access information and log in.
As you all know, our NAASF President, Rocky Borgh, suffered a sudden cerebral aneurysm and stroke mid-flight while on route from Zurich to Dulles this past February.
Rocky fought hard and recovered enough to return home to Virginia for rehabilitation. But only weeks later, tragedy struck again—he suffered a second, devastating stroke. Since then, he has been in hospitals and care facilities, and he is currently receiving treatment at Heritage Hall in Leesburg, VA.
Today, Rocky is making slow but meaningful progress. Yet he cannot walk, speak, or perform most daily tasks on his own. His best chance for recovery is to remain at Heritage Hall, where his skilled nursing and therapy team provide the care he desperately needs.
Unfortunately, insurance only covers 120 days of inpatient treatment. That coverage has run out. The cost of continuing his care is $14,000 per month—an impossible burden for Rocky and his wife, Anna, to bear alone.
Paul Ayers, a retired United pilot, has worked with Rocky's wife Anna, his son Andreas, and a few pilot buds to set up a GoFundMe to help Rocky offset his out of pocket expenses at Heritage Hall.
We have all always considered NAASF as a family. In time of need, families show up. Let’s show Rocky how much we love him and help get him back on the slopes.
