I climb because…I grew up in a developing country and understand the various facets that underpins economic growth and development for certain socioeconomic communities. At its core is the support required from a collective, neighbors, or an individual champion. I often reflect on the level of growth and capital within the Boston/Cambridge life science sector and the economic disparity that exists for surrounding neighborhoods. I climb to raise awareness through LSC’s core mission as well as support its grant making efforts geared towards impacting lower socioeconomic communities.
