Tomorrow morning at 7 am, Ted, Todd, Laura and Nick will begin their 10-day trip to Ecuador and their attempt to summit Cotopaxi. It's the adventure of a lifetime and an incredible opportunity to do something that's never been done before - end the threat of breast cancer for women around the world. We can't wait to get started and will keep you updated as best we can every step of the way as we gear up for our summit push. Stay tuned. The adventure is just beginning.
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.

Hey Ted! Just stopping by to wish you the best!
ted, just checking in this am (sat.) to see if anything new was up. still have not found the stock certificates.
Hi Todd....I love you and miss you baby. I am so proud of you. Be safe. Please don't get any wild ideas down there that you want to climb Everest. Remember how every time you go away for more than 10 days I get bored and rearrange all of the furniture in the entire house...well.....I've been a bit bored! I love you!!! Lara
HELLO, my fellow members of Team Pittsburgh! I hope you're having a real blast so far! It's a bit quiet out here in the Command Module now. I'll sure miss you climbing the steps tomorrow. No one has volunteered to do the 15 reps with me yet. And Laura, remember the air is going to get thinner. You're all awesome! Climb on for Hope.
Hey Ted...Nova is pissing all over my hard wood floors and driving Frank crazy, Climb faster! Just kidding. All is well in Pittsburgh. Ari texts daily. We all miss you. Be safe.
