Proctor, a science professor and artist, is bringing a poem she wrote in honor of her trip to space.

Proctor is going to add the names of donors on the back of the poem to fly with her in the Crew Dragon spacecraft. A link to the fundraiser can be found here. The deadline to donate is Friday night.

There is a $30 donation option, a $100 donation option and a $250 donation option. Proctor hopes the fundraiser hits $20,000, as of Friday morning, donations are at $11,000.

The Inspiration 4 mission is funded by businessman Jared Isaacman. Proctor and Chris Sembroski were selected to fly with Isaacman after a competition. St, Jude physician and cancer survivor Hayley Arceneaux makes the fourth crew member and represents “hope.”

SpaceX is scheduled to launch the Crew Dragon in September from Kennedy Space Center. The crew will spend three days orbiting Earth before splashing down off the coast of Florida.
