I recently accepted the challenge to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with Fred Hutch’s Climb to Fight Cancer. Please join me as I raise funds for lifesaving research at Fred Hutch.
No amount is too small, I am so close to my goal and I just need your help - if you are not in a place to donate, please share and cross post - help me raise money for Cancer Research.
?As you know, I love hiking and I love a challenge...couple that with the fight against cancer and well, I just had to say YES when a friend asked if I was interested in hiking to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro!
Some of you may know that my mother passed away in 2020 from severe diffuse metastatic cancer of unknown origin.?Simply put, by the time she sought care it was too late.?My friend who was in her 30s passed away from breast cancer after almost 5 years in remission it came screaming back leaving her young daughter and husband behind.?And since I am a crazy cat lady, I will add that 2 of my cats passed away from aggressive cancers with no cure or treatment available to them.??We all have stories like this, we have all had our lives impacted by cancer.
Cancer is a devastating disease, estimated to strike one in three women and one in two men in their lifetimes. I am climbing to raise vital funds for Fred Hutch’s lifesaving research.?You can help by donating to my climb, which will accelerate the quest for cures.
