The Challenge Starts

This summer I will be climbing Mount Rainier and more importantly, raising valuable funds for breast cancer research at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Reasearch Center through the Climb to Fight Breast Cancer. Thanks! (PLEASE USE THE BROWN "MAKE A DONATION" BUTTON BELOW)

Why am I doing this?

My wife is a survivor! She's my inspiration.

I'm highly motivated to participate in this climb! I, like many of you, have had my life affected by breast cancer. Lets get together and make the future for our mothers, sisters and daughters, cancer free. This combined with my love of the mountains....and THE Mountain....it's a no brainer.

The Challenge.

Since this is a charity climb, the stakes are high. I must raise $2500 by April 2nd, 2010, and have a total of $5000 raised by June 3rd, 2010. When I first heard this figures, I thought "no way!". But after talking with Lisa about it, and knowing that I'd have her full supprt, I began to think I really could do this!

...too long


I can't believe that it had been 6 MONTHS since I had gone on a hike with my wife. I think we spend our best times in the woods...lost, but found....and not really lost.

On Sunday we took a hike up the beautiful Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Trail. :)

    That is so cool you are doing Mt. Rainier this summer! I hope your climb goes flawlessly. I found your blog because I am climbing the seven summits and Rainier for breast cancer as well with the Seven Ribbons Foundation. We are also running a marathon on every continent which has been going very well. Just finished our 4th continent 2 weeks ago during the Rio de Janeiro marathon. Best of luck and keep up the good work!
