In early October, I will be climbing a volcano in Ecuador called Cayambe (18,996ft) with a team of adaptive athletes, disability rights advocates, partners, and Range of Motion Project (ROMP) staff. Representing Team Cotopaxi, I'm honored to be climbing alongside a ROMP patient from Ecuador named Carlos. Together, we hope to show the world what is possible when you have access to the proper care.
Why I Climb
Through this climb, we are raising funds for ROMP’s mission to ensure access to low-cost but life-changing care to amputees without access.
If you know me, it's because you’ve seen me running up the side of a mountain, or search through the jungle in search of humanity and it means something to you. That was made possible because of a prosthetic.
Now I have a chance to pay that gift forward to so many other amputees who don’t have access to this life changing hardware. That’s why I am really asking you to join my fundraising climb. No donation is too small and it all goes toward someone being able to walk again!
