This summer, I will team up with a group of climbers formed by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to participate in the "Climb to Fight Breast Cancer."

I will climb Mt. Baker and in doing so, will raise crucial funds and awareness for breast cancer research. All proceeds will benefit the Fred Hutchinson.

Home to two Nobel Laureates, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is on the forefront of breast cancer research. In addition to facilitating research projects ranging from genetic mapping to evaluation of risk factors such as lifestyle, genetics and environment, FHCRC provides and develops aggressive treatment plans for breast cancer.
