This expedition is a trip of a lifetime — a hike to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft / 5,895 m).

February 7 - 18, 2026

Our team participants will train their bodies for the physical and mental rigors of high altitude. They will think creatively and activate their networks to raise money for the innovative young scientists supported by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. Our goal as a collective team is to reach at least $1,000,000 for brave and bold Damon Runyon scientists.

To make a donation, select the name of the hiker you would like to support or make a gift below to the full 2025 Timmerman Traverse team.

To make an offline donation, please send your gift to the address below. Be sure to include the name of the climber you are supporting. Damon Runyon's EIN for a Donor Advised Fund is 13-1933825. For stock donations or wire transfer instructions, please email elyse.hoffmann@damonrunyon.org.

At the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, we fund high-risk, high-reward cancer research. We identify and enable young scientists who are brilliant, brave, and bold enough to go where others haven’t.

Since our founding, Damon Runyon cancer researchers have made extraordinary breakthroughs in every area of cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. To this day, we support the next generation of leaders — emerging talent with unique insights, drive, and boundless vision. We will not stop until we have the tools to prevent or cure all cancers.
