Mount Shasta Climb

Well I guess it's my turn to put on a 'let's do something good hat' and ask if any of you would like to sponsor my sister Becky!

She will be one of 40 climbers hiking up Mount Shasta in July to raise money for the Breast Cancer Fund. Her goal is to raise $1.00 for each foot in elevation ...$14,162. Collectively their goal is to raise $500,000. I'd like to see her shatter her goal, so I'm reaching out to you for help.

I've had too many friends and family members diagnosed with breast cancer to ignore this cause. Becky in particular has lost many close friends to the disease. She, by the way, is a nurse in Reno, Nevada and is healthy and strong.

I think it's great that she has taken on this project but in in her eyes, it's simply a privilege to be on the team. If you wish to make a donation, you can do this online at www.breastcancerfund.org/climb07/bfisch

Here's what Becky has posted on her page: "In July 2007, I will join a team of breast cancer survivors and others whose lives have been affected by the disease in Climb Against the Odds ~ Mt. Shasta, the seventh major mountain climbing expedition hosted by the Breast Cancer Fund. Our inspirational team will strive to raise $500,000 for breast cancer prevention initiatives, will work tirelessly to increase awareness of the harmful health effects caused by environmental toxins, and will express the strength and courage we found in challenging ourselves to climb to the top of a 14,162' dormant volcano in Northern California."
