In August, we will head down to South America to summit Chimborazo, the tallest peak in Ecuador and the closest point to the sun at 20,549′, to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Thank you for helping me reach my goal for St. Jude! This is a challenge that I am excited to push myself for. I would have never guessed that I would summit a glaciated 20k+ Super Volcano when we started climbing mountains 8 years ago for children battling cancer I am overwhelmed by all the support and donations over the years. Thank you!
