My Personal Fundraising Page

In July of 2022 I'll be participating in the 22nd annual Seek the Peak, a hiking and multi-sport fundraiser in support of the legendary non-profit Mount Washington Observatory. I will climb Mount Washington to honor the memory of my brother Rick.  Mount Washington was the the last place where we lived together in the summer of 1980, and the last day we spent together was skiing from the summit to Pinkham on April 19, 2015.  Rick found joy in all mountains, and Mount Washington was special to him. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to honor Rick's memory..  

Due to the generosity of supporters like you, the 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 and more. The Observatory website was among the first Rick bookmarked, and it was one he visited every day.

Please join me in honoring Rick's memory and supporting an institution he loved. 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.
