Climb For Hope

The Climb For Hope, founded in 2006, has raised $300K thus far in support of a promising breast cancer vaccine being developed by Dr. Leisha Emens, M.D., Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University. This vaccine has the potential to save thousands of women's lives. In January 2007, the first CFH team summitted Mt. Cotopaxi in Ecuador, the world's highest active volcano at 19,347 feet. Our team struggles to the summit so mothers, sisters, and wives may some day not have to struggle with breast cancer.

Earth Treks Climbing Center/Corks Restaurent - Wine & Cheese Fundraiser

EarthTreks and Corks Restaurant have generously teamed up to help us raise money for the Climb For Hope. Sunday Dec 3 at 5:30pm, at the Earth Treks Climbing Center in Timonium. There will be a small cover charge, which will include the opportunity to climb the walls while being belayed by one of the Climb For Hope team members. When we put the harnesses away, we'll break out the wine & cheese. Meet all the team members and learn more about the Climb For Hope. Then, Chris Warner, Founder of Earth Treks and Climb For Hope's Lead Guide, will show slides of his Everest Trip which should be really cool!
