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 Leland:
We are climbing for Leland, retired pastor and loving husband who currently battles Alzhiemers. Since the first time I met Leland at church, he has always been very kind and shared a wonderful sense of humor. He has a great smile and tender eyes. My heart and prayers go out to his wife and family. His name will be placed on our banner and carried to the summit for the photo opp!

J,
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this. What a great adventure for a great cause! Leland is my dad, and he used to drive us kids out west on vacations. Now I'm passing that love of travel to my own kids. In fact, a few years ago, we went to beautiful Mt. Rainier and saw a very unusual thing. Standing on top of one of the "foot hills", we realized it was raining and snowing big flakes, and the sun was out, all at once!
We are making a contribution. Thanks again, on behalf of my Dad and my family.
It was a great adventure and I hope what we did can provide Leland some sort of comfort. Thanks for your support!
