A Lovely Day for a Climb

-



Today I am attempting to climb 2 mountains.  As I prepare for the Triple Crown next week I am working on building both my confidence and my stamina.  The sun is shining and the wind is blowing. 

  

Sitting on the Top of the East End of Rundle:  As I stand here taking in the beauty of my surroundings I reflect on how blessed I am to be physically capable of climbing to these heights.  I am so grateful to have the opportunity and the physical ability to take on this challenge.  An opportunity that so many who live with MS may never have.

To better understand the impact that your donations have on those living with MS please visit the Impact Stories Page of my Blog.  Every dollar counts.  And goes a long way to improving the lives of those impacted by MS.

I am pleased to say that I am back at ground level, having just completed the Triple Crown for MS Climb.  I am at the start of the Ha Ling trail, which for me is the end of an 11.5 hour day.  I climbed 3 mountains, up and down, all safely. Today was about raising funds and awareness for a cause that is near and dear to my heart.  I thank everyone who has supported me along the way.

More on that later. FUNDRAISING UPDATE. As of now, we are at $20,710 which exceeds the original fundraising goal but leaves us with a little over $9,000 to reach the new goal of $30,000. I’m confident we still have some potential contributors who have not had a chance to click on “Donate” just yet so I believe we still have a great shot of reaching the goal and making an even bigger difference for some people. MS INFORMATION. My sister shared a thought with me the other day which caused me to pause. Faye said what a difference it may have made in our mother’s life and outcome if she had access to some of the treatments which are available today for people w

A beautiful morning.  8:20 am and I am standing at the summit of Windtower.  The sun is shining and there is a nice light and welcome breeze.  I had the trails all to myself this morning - no people and no critters.     I will see you in about 4 hours from the top of East Rundle
