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!

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteYou don't have any other contact information listed on your blog, but I read your story in the WS Blog and wanted to drop a line. I am very impressed with what you are doing and wanted to say thank you.
I am a volunteer with the West Seattle Relay for Life. Relay for Life is a yearly fundraiser for the American Cancer Society held all over the country and the world. Since your activity is raising money for basically the same cause, i just wanted to tell you about our event and invite you to check it out this year.
The relay is a great community, family oriented event where we take time to Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back. It struck me that you are doing your climb in honor of your wife, and our event allows you to celebrate her success as a team. The event takes a lot of time to teach and educate on cancer prevention as well.
Anyhow, just wanted to let you know that we do this right here in your community, and wanted to invite you and your wife out this June 18th to check it out and see if maybe its something you may want to get involved with in the future. Our Relay opens with a Survivor Lap for survivors and their caretakers where we get to celebrate and remember who we are relaying for - and i think you both would really enjoy this.
So check it out (http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=22052&pg=entry), and if you think you are interested in stopping by at some point during the relay, let me know and i will certainly fill you in on the best time to come. And i would like to send your wife an invitation to our survivor lap and reception, so please do contact me about that.
Anyhow, hope to hear back from you.
