At 19,388 feet, Vulcan Cotopaxi stands as one of the world's highest active volcanoes and Ecuador's second highest peak. On January 4, 2008, I'll begin a 10-day trek as part of Pittsburgh's Climb For Hope team as we attempt to summit Cotopaxi and raise money for cutting-edge breast cancer vaccine research being conducted by Dr. Leisha Emens at Johns Hopkins University.
Last year, the Climb For Hope team raised over $150,000 for this research and helped to move Dr. Emen’s work forward by 6 months.
As part of my personal goal for this climb, I'm hoping to raise a minimum of $5,000 so that this research can continue to have a beneficial impact on the lives of women who face the daily struggles of late-stage breast cancer.
I hope that you'll join in this effort and support me and the Climb For Hope team as we set out on this journey to push ourselves higher than we've ever traveled before.
For more information about our climbing itinerary and the vaccine research we're working to support, please visit the links at
Climb For Hope.
And to take a closer look at the summit we're attempting to reach, visit
Cotopaxi.
I hope you'll join me in my adventure. And from me, and all the members of the Climb For Hope team, thank you for your friendship and support.
