Since moving to Seattle in 2013, I've fallen in love with the landscape we are so fortunate to surround us. Over the past 9+ years trips to the mountains became a regular thing and found amazing friends who also shared that passion to hike and explore. 

Then, like many of us, COVID hit hard and our lifestyles changed. The frequency dropped and even the willingness to be more brave diminished both from an injury and self motivation. Life stopped. 

What came out of that temporary halt was learning about Climb For A Cause and its mission. Here, we have a chance to give back to the park services and help raise funds to maintain these beautiful landscapes. Without the help of park services we would not have the freedom to explore and go on our outdoor adventures here in Washington. It was a motivator to get back out to the mountains while giving back at the same time.

Fast forward to this August 2022 and I will be climbing Mount Rainier with my seven team mates and attempt to summit:  elevation 14,411'! I'm scared + excited and I can't do it without your help. I've created this page because I want to support the work of Washington's National Park Fund and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in 2022 Climb for a Cause. 

Please use the "Donate" button below to support me and the Washington National Park Fund. The more folks that know about the WNPF the greater their impact. So PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD by sharing my page with your friends and family.

Thank you so much for your generosity and I can't wait to share this opportunity and fund raising event with you all!
