Mt. Elbrus Fundraising


My Proposal

I love climbing mountains.  It gives me a feeling that I cannot describe.  I love the challenge of the climb, the pain along the journey, and the sense of accomplishment on the summit.  It’s part of who I am.  My two climbing goals are to touch the highest point of all 50 states, and the highest point of all 7 continents.
But, mountaineering is a very expensive hobby.  I am a chef, husband, and father, and that is not a combination that leads to wealth.  So, I find myself stuck.  I can either give up my dream of climbing the world’s highest peaks, or I can ask for help…YOUR help to be specific.
There are 7 billion people in the world.  My plea is to find 600 of them that would be willing to donate $10 to make a simple man’s dream come true.  I want to be honest:  I’m not raising money for a charity.  I am climbing for me.  I’m climbing because I want my wife and son to be proud of me.  I’m climbing to show that hard work pays off.  I’m climbing so I can come back and share my story with all of you.
Help me.  Be a part of this.  I will be eternally grateful to each and every person to help me achieve this goal.  When you donate, sign my donation log so I can take you with me to the summit.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
