WASHINGTON — Parkland students flying to Washington D.C. for the March For Our Lives got a ride from New England's own Robert Kraft this week.
Tweets from the shooting survivors headed to nation's capitol to lobby for gun law reform showed them with their families boarding the New England Patriots' planes.
The Patriots are the only team in the NFL to have their own planes to travel to and from away games, and owner Robert Kraft reportedly donated the use of the planes to the students so they could get to Washington.
Heading to D.C. & I’m so thankful to be here with so many amazing people. Thank you @Patriots for donating your plane to help us get to D.C.! And always so happy to have @isabelabarry by my side through everything I do✨💗 pic.twitter.com/o8I7EfzQED
