Thanks to the Carlos family—mom Helen, dad Jimmy and daughters Jordan and Drew—of Roswell, Ga., Flag Stanley recently flew where no transplant flag has flown before: Machu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands and at the Equator line.

The Carloses are great friends of the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta transplant program, so it came as no surprise when they extended an invitation for Flag Stanley to join them on the family’s summer vacation to the Southern Hemisphere.
The orange line marks the Equator in Quito, Ecuador. Helen and Drew (at left) are standing in the Southern Hemisphere, and Jimmy and Jordan (at right) are in the Northern Hemisphere. Flag Stanley is in both!
Beyond sharing their love of travel, Helen and Jimmy have also shared their passion for philanthropy with their daughters. Helen lends her voice as a member of the Children’s at Hughes Spalding Community Board, and Jimmy is a member of the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation Board of Trustees.

From one of the New Seven Wonders of the World to a Galapagos Tortoise the size of a Mini Cooper, gracias por tomar Flag Stanley a Perú familia Carlos!
