I am on a team of Amazon climbers who are working together to summit Mount Rainier this July to raise funds for Washington’s National Parks. Through a partnership with International Mountain Guides (IMG) and Washington's National Park Fund – we join together to raise funds for North Cascades, Mount Rainier and Olympic National Park.

I want to support the work of Washington's National Park Fund -- including trail/road maintenance, research, park educational programs, and ecological rehabilitation -- to ensure the beauty of the great outdoors is accessible to those who wish to visit.  This cause is personally meaningful as my grandmother who passed this spring had a 30-year career as a park ranger and naturalist. She worked tirelessly to teach others about the wonders of the natural world.

Furthermore, as someone who has grown up in the shadow of the mountain, I am ecstatic about this opportunity to fulfill my lifelong dream of summitting it while also ensuring there is funding for the park to function for years to come. 

Please help me help our National Parks by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button! The more people that know about Washington's National Park Fund, the greater their impact, so PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot to the many who visit Mt. Rainier National Park.
