Straight from our employee newsletter this afternoon:

KidCares Needs Mile Donations

KidCares, a Northwest program that uses donated frequent flier miles to provide air travel for children who need urgent medical treatment far from home, has depleted its supply of miles donated by WorldPerks members and needs donations. Until then, Northwest cannot fulfill the travel requests of ill children and their families.

Northwest matches miles donated to KidCares and has provided free travel to 472 children, in addition to the adults who accompanied them. Northwest is encouraging its customers to make donations to the programs.
