We're climbing Mount Rainier (elev. 14,410) July 15-18, and we have partnered with the Alzheimer's Association to raise awareness/money for the fight against Alzheimer's. This blog will serve as a tool to not only raise awareness, but it will also capture the history of our training, the climb itself, and all the soreness afterwards. Please consider making a monetary contribution to the Alzheimer's Association by clicking the contribution form link on the left side of the page. Thanks!

For Eleanor "Mammaw"
We are climbing for Eleanor - My (Jenothy's) husband's grandma who passed away in 2011 and had struggled many years with Alzhiemers. I remember her smile and funny little giggle and the way she loved her oatmeal, ice cream and cookies! She always "lit up" when her grand children came to visit or the family gathered together. Eleanor's name will be added to the banner that we will carry on our hike and to the summit. Thank you to her daughter for honoring her this way and supporting our climb.
