Jesse Walker has been an active outdoors enthusiast for many years, enjoying Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, trail running, and single scull-rowing. Hiking, in particular, has been a passion of his for almost 50 years. Jesse’s background as a teacher and neuro-rehabilitation trainer has shaped his approach to teamwork, dedication, and perseverance.  This is Jesse’s tenth anniversary at Sunrise!

Team Remembrance is a group dedicated to honoring those who are gone but not forgotten. For Jesse, the climb to the summit of Mount Washington is all about the team. Over the years, Team Remembrance has built lasting memories, strong friendships, and close bonds through training hikes, in preparation for Sunrise, and during the climb, itself. The camaraderie within the team really makes the event special for Jesse. The magic of the day lies in seeing hikers, roadrunners, volunteers, and spectators support each other on their way to the summit.  Sunrise Ascent is a very special day for everyone in the adaptive sports community.
