Alsokeep the person lying down. • Shield the eyes: Wear sunglasses to protect against damage from UV rays.

McClatchy- Tribune News Service MARK MI&.L.ER SUBARU Make-a-Wish wants your miles "I wish to see the dolphins at Sea World." "I wish to walk up and give Mickey a big hug." "I wish to go on all the scariest roller-coasters at Walt Disney World® Resort." The Make-A-Wish Foundation® is asking frequent travelers across the country to contribute frequent flier miles and help make wishes like these come true for children with lifethreatening medical conditions. When Make-A-Wish volunteers ask a child for his or her favorite wish, very often the response begins with, "I want to go...." In fact, more than 72 percent of all wishes granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation involve travel. Fortunately, most major airlines have created programs that allow members of Iheir frequent traveler loyalty programs to donate their unused miles to charity. Such contributions have enabled the Make-A-Wish Foundation to send thousands of children with life-threatening medical conditions and their families on the trip of a lifetime, and have saved the Foundation millions of dollars each year. However, with the number of wishes constantly rising more than 13,000 in the United States last year alone the need for frequent flier miles is greater than ever. In fact, the Make-A-Wish Foundation estimates that it would need more than 2.5 billion frequent flier miles to fulfill every wish child's travel request this year. Why should someone donate miles to the Make-AWish Foundation rather than redeem them for free travel? The answer is as clear as the smiles on the faces of wish children like Whitney. Whitney is an amazing 11year old who suffers from lOq trisomy. When given the opportunity to select one wish, Whitney decided to travel to Walt Disney World® Resort to meet the all the Disney Princesses and receive a princess make-over and photoshoot. Thanks to the outstanding support the Foundation receives from its airline partners and the airlines' customers, Whitney's wish, and thousands of others, have been fulfilled. "A contribution of frequent flier miles to the MakeA-Wish Foundation is one of the most direct ways to help make a difference in the life of a child with a life-threatening medical condition," said David Williams, president and CEO of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America. Most major airlines have mileage donation programs.
