Hello! My name is Darren Keepers, and I am a passionate climber who happens to be blind. I lost my sight at the age of five, but rather than limit me, it has propelled me on a journey of extraordinary experiences and challenges. On May 18, I am excited to participate in a climbathon to raise funds for ParaCliff Hangers, a nonprofit organization that enables those of us with disabilities to transcend our limits through climbing. Why ParaCliff Hangers? ParaCliff Hangers is more than an organization; it’s a community that champions the spirit of adventure for people with disabilities. It offers us a way to escape the confines of our disabilities and to engage fully with nature in a profoundly empowering way. Here, I am preparing to not only improve my climbing skills but also to compete at national levels. Your Impact By sponsoring my climb, you are helping to fund essential equipment, skilled volunteers, and the development of climbing programs tailored to the unique needs of disabled climbers. Your pledge directly enhances our ability to participate in and enjoy climbing as both a competitive sport and a recreational activity. Join Us in Making a Difference With every donation, you affirm the importance of inclusivity in the adventure sports realm and support our community’s ability to tackle new heights. Thank you for your support, and for believing in the potential within each of us to conquer new peaks together.
