Dear friends and family,

In August this summer I am doing something that has been on my bucket list for decades; I am joining a group that will be climbing Mount Rainier (Tahoma). I first saw Mount Rainier when I was working on the Schooner Adventuress in 1996 in southern Puget Sound. Since then I have had a keen interest in stories about climbing this old volcano. I hope you can help me, and my team, by supporting this journey.

A dedicated team of climbers is joining forces to raise funds for Washington's national parks. The culmination of our fundraising efforts will be a thrilling 3-day summit attempt of Mount Rainier (Tahoma) in the summer of 2024. The proceeds raised from this initiative will contribute to search and rescue operations in Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks.

In partnership with world-class Alpine Ascents International, WNPF is orchestrating a unique fundraising climb of Mount Rainier (Tahoma), providing a rare opportunity for park enthusiasts to strive for the summit of this iconic peak in Mount Rainier National Park.

Be a part of turning this incredible dream into reality by supporting my climb with a donation! Your contribution will not only help me achieve something extraordinary but also create lasting memories while aiding the preservation of Washington's spectacular national parks.
