Ms Arceneaux works as a physician's assistant in the hospital where she was a patient
![]() There will be no professional astronauts on board the spacecraft. Rather, Ms Arceneaux will be joined by two contest winners and flight commander Jared Isaacman, a 38-year-old billionaire who is paying for the entire mission. The mission is the pet project of Mr Isaacman, who announced on 1 February that he had bought the rocket launch. Mr Isaacman is aiming to use the flight to raise $200m (£142m) for St Jude, half of which he said he will donate himself. Of the four available seats on the spacecraft, one was offered to a member of staff at the hospital. "From the start, we wanted a crew member that represented the mission's spirit of hope," Mr Isaacman said. "I can't think of a better person than Hayley to fulfil that responsibility." For Ms Arceneaux, the flight will be the realisation of a feat she never thought was possible. At the age of 10, Ms Arceneaux was a bone cancer patient at St Jude. As part of her treatment at the hospital, Ms Arceneaux had chemotherapy and surgery to replace some of her leg bones with artificial ones. pg slot |
