A massive thank you to all our supporters. We hit my goal of $10,000 on 10/6/25!
But there are still >500 patients on ROMP's waitlist and and 18 peak to go in my challenge. I think we can go a lot further and want to stretch to $20,000. All donations for the next few weeks will be matched 1:1, so this is a great time to make a huge difference in the lives of a dozen more people. THANK YOU!
Why It Matters?
An estimated 3.6 million people across Latin America live every day without access to the prosthetic care they desperately need. The gap between those in need and available care is vast but not insurmountable.
Our Mission
This year, we're setting an ambitious goal: to fund 100 prosthetic limbs for ROMP patients in 2025 by climbing our mountains.
How Can You Help?
I'm climbing Cotopaxi (19,347ft) this fall in Ecuador to raise awareness for all amputees still waiting for access to prosthetic care! I'm climbing for those who can't.
In preparation for the big Cotopaxi climb with the ROMP Team, I am aiming to summit 52 peaks in 52 weeks over the coming months. I'll be personally donating $250 for each peak. Your support, big or small, means the world to me. And, most importantly, it will help extend high-quality prosethetics and care to individuals - something absolutely transformative to their lives.
