New for 2008 - another attempt at the summit!

As if my experiences of 2007 were not enough, I am embarking o a 2008 attempt to summit Mt Rainier on behalf of the Climb for Clean Air - American Lung Association.

2008 commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Climb for Clean Air® - a fundraising climb of Mount Rainier. Each year, climbers representing the American Lung Association® of the Northwest each raise at least $3,500, train, and equip themselves to attempt the most difficult climb in the lower 48 states. With your generous support this year's climb teams will raise $300,000 to:

* Help kids with Asthma live full and productive lives.

* Stem the tide of Big Tobacco money that is pushing young people to start a lifelong habit that kills 8200 Washingtonians every year.

* Fund research to find cures for Lung Cancer, Emphysema, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Tuberculosis and lung disease of all kinds.

* Advocate for clean air in our beautiful state.

Thank you for considering a donation to this worthy cause and for supporting my summit attempt on Mount Rainier in July 2008!
