Kathi's Climb Against The Odds ~ The Breast Cancer Fund

Kathi is the cute one in the green jacket in the center!

Please click here to help my friend Kathi in her quest to meet her fundraising goal for Climb Against the Odds 2009. It's a mountaineering expedition to support and raise awareness of the Breast Cancer Fund’s work to eliminate the environmental and other preventable causes of breast cancer.

In June, a team of 40 women and men will climb the 14,162-foot Mt. Shasta in Northern California in both a collective effort to prevent breast cancer and a personal challenge to overcome the devastating experience of the disease.

Envisioned in the early 1990s by breast cancer survivors Laura Evans and Breast Cancer Fund founder Andrea Ravinett Martin, Climb Against the Odds would be the first time women with breast cancer would face incredible physical challenges to raise awareness and funds for their cause.

We climb to demonstrate our commitment, to ourselves and to others, that we stand for a world in which cancer is a thing of the past. We apply our courage and faith that anything is possible, if taken one step at a time. And we do it all as part of a team, climbers and supporters, knowing that there is more that we can achieve together than apart. Success lies in the journey, not on the summit.” - Andrea Ravinett Martin (1946-2003)

Kathi will be climbing in honor and memory of all of those who have fought the breast cancer battle, including my mom Judy, breast cancer survivor.

Give as you are able!
