But it seems like yesterday that I was in Washington climbing Mt. St. Helens with some pretty amazing people. Then, last week, more amazing people geared up to take the trek up Mt. Hood.
Neither climb group made it to the summit due to mother nature calling an audible. But in both cases it wasn't whether or not people made it to the top o the mountain, but rather it was about coming together for friend, family and even people we've never met - to help raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research and support.
The support of those who climb together is powerful and the support received by those that make financial contributions is inspirational. They believe - as we do - and that there is a purpose and a chance.
I previously told you about my friends Rusty and Kira who made an incredible contribution to my climb. Well, I am blessed to say that they were not the only ones.
I have the pleasure of working with another agency - Couto Solutions out of California - who, without hesitation also made a significant contribution to my Climb to Fight Breast Cancer. The support of Justin and Rosa is overwhelming especially considering that Justin recently lost his father. When I took to the mountain, I brought his dad with me. I brought all the loved ones both still fighting as well as those who lost their fight along with me.
Without the support of people like Justin and Rosa, Kira and Rusty and each and every single person I could not do what I do.
So, even two week after I have climbed, I say thank you! You all inspire me and keep me putting one foot in front of the other.
