Still Sporting the Pink for Fellow Climbers

This weekend the second of the Climb to Fight Breast Cancer treks is set to take place - on the mountain that started it all for me a year ago - Mt. Hood.

My friend Colin will join a number climbers, some of which are survivors, and trek up above the clouds on the way to summit and celebration.

In addition to Colin, I know another individual who is climbing this weekend - Lynn Lippert - the awesome breast cancer survivor who I had the privilege of meeting last year, and who's words of advice and support helped me every step of my climb on St. Helens last weekend.

Lynn is a survivor, but more than that, she is an inspiration. To meet her is to be changed. She puts a lot in perspective for a person and she doesn't pull any punches. She's real!

Tonight, I got an email from her saying they were at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood and the "weather is crap. Here's hoping things improve."

I'm sending good, positive vibes to Lynn, Colin and all the other climber this weekend and hoping the weather does indeed improve.

Blessings for a safe and successful climb my friends! Can't wait to hear about your journey.
