11. WELCOME TO THE CLIMB!
#RelentlessClimber #MountainMonday
In the summer of 2016, twelve climbers scaled Longs Peak in
Colorado to scratch the itch for adventure. Little did they know
by climbing a mountain they were starting a movement. 400
survivors, caregivers and advocates have joined us by getting
active, creating connections and strengthening their resolve to
push higher, overcome barriers and Climb for a Cure. Now it’s
your turn!
Thank you to our Climb for a Cure sponsors:

12. Push Beyond.
The Climb isn’t just about the physical mountains we
climb -- it’s about the mental and emotional ones,
too.
We’ve climbed 14,000 foot mountains and
faced cancer. We are relentless in our
pursuit to find a cure, together.
This year we’re gathering virtual online to
take 1,000,000 steps for the 1,000,000
colorectal cancer survivors in the US.
$325,000
The money we raise directly
contributes to creating awareness,
providing crucial resources for
patients and their families, and
funding ground-breaking research
Raised

From 2016 to the virtual Climb this
year, climbers from around the
country and world have joined
together to push each other to new
heights in the mountains and at
home
