Hi guys! I will soon be on a journey across the US to climb to the highest point in the lower 49 states - Mount Whitney in California!
The reason I'm doing this is because this April I will be participating in Backpackers Magazine's 2007 "Summit for Someone" Challenge (www.summitforsomeone.org ), and attempt to summit 14,496 foot Mt. Whitney in California, the highest point in the lower 49 states.
My charity climb will benefit Big City Mountaineers, a non-profit group whose mission is to mentor inner-city teens and bring them into rural areas to experience nature first hand. In order to participate in this challenge, I have agreed to raise $3500 in pledges for their charity. I can only do this with the help my friends and family. If you'd like to help me in my challenge and support Big City Mountaineers, you can donate to my fund at:

In addition, if you know anyone who would like to help support this as well, please pass the link on. Sponsorship from both individuals and companies are more than welcomed. Big City Mountaineers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and all donations are tax deductible.
Once again I would like to thank you for any donations that you might be able to make on my behalf.
Check back at this site for updates on my progress! If you have any questions about my climb, or if you want to wish me luck, feel free to contact me 😊
