Corporate aviation tends to take a beating for what some see as unnecessary extravagance, but you can bet many finger-pointers would have a different perspective if they or a loved one were riding on a bizjet that was taking them for cancer treatments they otherwise wouldn’t be able to access.

For over 42 years, the Corporate Angel Network (CAN) has been quietly working in the background to make this happen for as many cancer patients as possible, regardless of their financial status.
