Alex served as ‘co-pilot’ for the flight.

Rob Imlay (far right) flew Alex (front) and his father, Tim (middle), from Double H Ranch. Kurt Fada (far left) also joined the crew for the ride.
Our Flying Horse Away camper, Alex, received special transportation from volunteer, Rob Imlay. Rob donated his time and aircraft to bring Alex home from the Double H Ranch Hole in the Wall Camp in New York, since Alex was the only camper from Ohio to attend that week. Alex’s father, Tim Pothast, flew with Rob to pick up Alex in New York and said, “the flight home could not be considered travel back home, but a great experience itself.”
Alex got to sit right up front to serve as ‘co-pilot’ and enjoyed learning all about aviation from his dad and Rob. Thanks again to Rob Imlay for bringing one of our campers home safely!

We are grateful to Sarah Reed, Chaplain at Nationwide Children's Hospital and Mayor Mike P...

This year's Indianapolis 500 celebrates the track's 100th anniversary and the 40th anniversary release of Paul Newman's film, "Winning."
A year ago, Paul Newman attended his last Indy 500. As you may know, Paul felt deeply and passionately about two things: racing and the Hole in the Wall Camps, which he founded over 20 years ago.
