Dear Friends and Family,

I am participating in a unique and inspiring fundraising event called the "Sunrise Ascent on Mt. Washington" to benefit Adaptive Sports Partners whose mission it is to empower individuals with disabilities by building community, confidence, and skills through sport, recreation and adventure.

Check out this link for more information:

Before sunrise on July 30th, nearly 250 volunteers will be helping adaptive athletes reach new heights by summiting Mt. Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast (6,288 feet)!

As an athlete myself, I know that being active in the great outdoors can have such a positive impact on all aspects of life!  Whether it's running, walking, biking, or hiking, exercise can help boost self-esteem and self-confidence, and improve mental health.  I know that I am fortunate to be able to engage in these kinds of activies, but this isn't the case for everyone.  This sunrise ascent is a fundraiser to help raise funding so others can be empowered and join in, because we ALL should be able to enjoy a sunrise at the top of Mt. Washington!  If we can all hike 7.6 miles to the top of the mountain, just image the other projects we can successfully tackle in life!  

Please consider making a donation on my fundraising page.  Every little bit counts!
