I've created this page because I am participating in 2023 Climb for a Cause. I will be celebrating my 55th birthday on this climb.  Each decade seems to bring its own unique challenges and this decade is no different.  Over the years, mountains have brought me much joy, helped me to overcome personal challenges, and usher in a new perspective on life.  This is a way for me to give back to these magnificent places and help to make a difference.  I hope you can join me in this endeavor.   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 use national parks!
