Support Lightning Tours

Help bring the world to more seniors.

Sponsor guided virtual reality experiences that bring exploration, wonder, and connection directly to senior living communities.

We bring the headsets, set everything up, and stay beside residents throughout the experience. Your support helps us reach more seniors.

The impact

Why your support matters

Travel can become difficult with age, changes in health, or limited mobility. But the chance to explore, feel wonder, and share something new does not have to end.

I'm Jeremy Ford, founder of Lightning Tours. Our team brings guided VR experiences directly to senior living communities, where residents can visit places around the world, enjoy nature, and share the moment with their neighbors.

More than 2,000 fully facilitated VR experiences delivered across around 90 senior living campuses.

Shared values

A partnership rooted in connection

We're honored to partner with Rhonda Hudson as she prepares to release The Blessings of Alzheimer's & Dementia on October 17. Her book reflects on love, connection, and recognizing the person beyond a diagnosis.

Those values resonate with the care our team brings to every senior community we visit.
