This June I will be climbing the second highest peak in the continental U.S., Mount Rainier, with a team from Seattle Pacific University. This is a challenge I never seriously considered until recently, so I have lots of preparing to do. One important part of that begins with help from wonderful people like you.

In order to complete this journey, I need to raise $2,000 by May 27 to help support student scholarships for my alma mater, SPU. I hope you will find it worthwhile to aid me in completing my conquest, and supporting future SPU students. Any amount of contribution would be greatly appreciated; however, anyone that donates $100 or more will receive a 5x7 photo of me at the summit-exhausted, freezing, hungry, and most of all...ELATED!! If you are part of a business or corporation, I would also be more than happy to carry with me a lightweight banner with your logo on it, to photograph with me at the summit so all can see the support you were so generous to offer.

Do not think that monetary support is all that is needed. Your prayers and thoughts will also be beneficial to keep me motivated and dedicated to this cause.

Please feel free to follow along as I train and prepare for this event. I will try to update this site with information on my progress. Thank you so much for all of your support!
