In July of 2024 I'll be participating in the 24th annual Seek the Peak, a hiking fundraiser in support of the legendary non-profit Mount Washington Observatory. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to support my endeavor.
This will be my second year hiking to honor the memory of my best friend Diane DeVries. We lost this most amazing human being in February 2023. Diane summited Mt. Washington 6 times (5 as a participant in this fundraiser)! So, here's to honoring my fellow nature lover and dearly missed friend. Feel free to donate to support our endeavor if you can and on July 20th, wherever you may be in the world, make an effort to get outdoors, hike a trail, any trail. Stop and take pictures of you with your friends/family making core memories, finding unique mushrooms or gnarled trees, identify birds, listen to the sounds of nature all around you, share your findings with more friends & family; and you'll feel Diane (or whoever is a Diane to you) smiling over your shoulder. ???
Due to the generosity of supporters like you, the nonprofit Mount Washington Observatory has been observing and reporting on Mount Washington’s infamous conditions for 90+ years from their mountaintop weather station, maintaining one of North America's longest continuous climate records. The data they collect is utilized in forecasting models, weather reports, landmark climate research and educational outreach. The free daily forecasts that the Observatory provides are an essential resource for those wishing to enjoy the outdoors in New Hampshire's White Mountains and beyond.
Please join me in supporting this storied institution by making a donation towards my outdoor adventure. All gifts are fully tax-deductible and will help Mount Washington Observatory continue their important work in the Home of the World’s Worst Weather.
