our inspiration
Founder, Kevin Crowe, experienced the power of a final goodbye during the passing of his good friend, Ryan Westerman. In Ryan’s final days, both he and his close family and friends were at peace knowing nothing had been left unsaid and wished that more end of life experiences could unfold this way for more peopleÂ
In time, Kevin learned that trillions of air miles went unused in 2011 and this fact spurred him to begin Give A Mile as a way to continue Ryan’s legacy.Â
