Hi folks. So it's already Oct. 20. Just about a month away... Shooter is back in Colorado, KG still here in SF. Honestly, I've been slacking on the fundraising. Nelson is definitely ahead of me on that front. However, fear not... I'm feeling ambitious and passionate. Not to mention Shooter has thrown out a new challenge.
Instead of the 15K we were originally going for...one-hundred-fifty-thousand. Yup, you read that right - $150K. Why? Because, why NOT?! This organization rocks. The work they do is necessary, the way they do it is exponentially beneficial. This trip is meaningful. I say we go for it. What is it? Go big, or go home?? Well...
How are we going to get there? We have some ideas... :)

THE NUTS & BOLTS
The Story...
We are on a mission.
To climb a mountain, for kids. To live out our passion for youth, the outdoors, and the people who have -- and continue to -- inspire us to do the work we do, and be the people we are.
More specifically, to raise $15,000 for Bay Area Wilderness Training [BAWT].
The cause.
BAWT is an amazing organization, and community, that supplies training AND gear to empower teachers and youth workers who lead kids outdoors.
Some inspiration.
This climb is being dedicated to Greg Lawrence Walker, a friend of Shane’s. Greg lost his life on Orizaba 10 years ago. He affected all who knew him, with an incredible smile and a blinding light from within.
The climb also falls 10 days before Kristy’s 30th birthday. This will undoubtedly be the hardest challenge she has ever attempted. Ever. [It's significance transcending the physical endeavor.]
These are the bigger mountains also calling us to climb, calling us to action.
We are a team.
Kristy met Shane on her very first program as an outdoor educator in 2001. Little did we know [or at least Kristy], our paths would weave in and out of each other’s lives at transitional, transformative junctures in our lives. In beautiful and powerful ways.
It seems only kismet, that life, and the universe, would unite us once again, to complete this journey together.
