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.
