Next June, a former classmate of mine at Seattle Prep, Kristen Burrows will climb Mount Denali (also known as Mount McKinley). Leading up to her climb up the tallest mountain in North America, Burrows is raising money for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to fight Breast Cancer.
Burrows, an aspiring mountaineer has already climbed Kiliminjaro and Rainier. Being able to raise money for cancer research and climb Denali at the same time was a no-brainer for her.
She is looking to raise $12,500 for the Fred Hutch center — an ambitious goal to say the least. Since everyone is in a general merry and cheery mood at this time of year, I thought it'd be a good time to ask anyone who reads this blog to consider helping Kristen's cause.
To donate and help Kristen reach her goal, head over to her fundraising website here. So far she's raised a little over $7,500 and needs all the help she can get.
You can also follow her progress and story leading up to the climb at her blog.
