Why I'm Climbing

I'm excited to share that I’ll be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro this summer on behalf of Opportunity International as a founding member of Team Opportunity!

I support Opportunity International because their mission means a lot to me. This mission, paired with my passion for adventure, made for the perfect match to take on a bold goal to raise $20,000 to help unlock opportunities for Malawian women living on less than $.50 a day. Through my training this year, I am working to help these women lift their families out of extreme poverty. With your support, women will receive resources to meet their immediate needs and empower them to start businesses, generate income, feed their families, and send their children to school. Education for the children further helps break the cycle of poverty.

Please join me by donating to my page and supporting this important cause? Did I mention that this is especially meaningful, because I get to share this adventure with my daughter Jacquelyn? I’ve included information about Opportunity International below.

My Training

Our Base Training part is complete! I have been running 4 days a week to work up to a decent 5K time. I added skiing, snowshoeing, hiking and reformer Pilates classes. This week starts our official training! We have workouts called Yasso 800s, Strength training in core, upper body and lower body, and Brick Days! I am very much excited for the challenge of the training workouts so that I can be successful getting to the summit of Kilimanjaro.
