Kim Spence's Story
Thank you so much for your interest in supporting The Kyle Pease Foundation and our amazing athletes. I've had the privilege of representing KPF as an Ambassador for the last 8 years. Raising funds and awareness to promote inclusion in sports for our uniquely abled athletes is an important responsibility but my passion is pushing my wheelchair partners as we spread joy and laughter on race courses throughout the year! If you've ever seen KPF race, you've likely noticed my team in flashy, themed costumes and booming tunes. We love racing! That's why we are so grateful for donors like you to help provide equipment and funds needed to ensure our athletes can compete and achieve their dreams. Doesn't everyone deserve to earn a medal!
For 2024, I'm expanding my fundraising goals by participating in 29020 Whistler. Sounds a bit glamorous when I tell folks I am hiking in the beautiful Blackcomb trails of Canada but reality is, this is one of the hardest challenges I've ever prepared for.
29,029 vertical feet, 32 vertical miles in just 36 hours. Imagine hiking for 3 hrs at avg 15%+ grade, riding down a gondola and repeating 7 more times. Big challenge, but not nearly as big as the challenges our athletes face every day. I'm inspired by our athletes accomplishments, hard work and especially their grit. I can't wait to tackle this mountain and show off my hat/medal to the KPF family.
Please help me achieve this goal so we can put more athletes in race chairs, at more finish lines, racking up more medals, joy and special memories. KPF is a unique family providing more than just races, we are providing critical daily support for athletes and their families.
We are appreciative of your donation, no matter the amount and I look forward to keeping you posted on my journey to Everest and that coveted red hat!
In love and great health,
Kim
