Climb for Heroes 2026

On May 23, 2025, something remarkable happened on Mt. Baldy, just 45 minutes from Los Angeles. The Heroes Project broke ground on the first Veteran Retreat Center (VRC) in sunny Southern California. This transformative new chapter is dedicated to uplifting our injured veteran community, alongside the largest VA west of the Mississippi, located right here in SoCal. The VRC is a serene facility designed to inspire teamwork, rebuild morale, and restore confidence. Picture a tranquil mountain retreat, free from the noise and distractions of city life, no cell service, no Wi-Fi, no traffic, just pure peace, perfect for physical, mental, and emotional recovery. More than just a retreat center, this groundbreaking facility will welcome veterans from across the nation, creating a haven of healing and resilience. It will serve as the home base for THP's renowned "Expeditions for Heroes" program and ignite new opportunities for veterans to rise above challenges, visible and invisible. Your donation will support my climb (almost 9 miles roundtrip!) and this project. Thank you for your support!
