Rock climb and make a difference in the world!
REI, Black Diamond & Metro DC’s great climbing gyms, Earth Treks & Sportrock, are teaming up to fight ovarian cancer. We've got a month-long festival, Climb For Life to support the HERA foundation, a non-profit organization which empowers women, the medical industry & communities in their fight against ovarian cancer. Registration fees & donations support ovarian cancer research at Johns Hopkins University. Here’s some of what you get for $30.
Climb for fun. Climb For Life!
The low-down: It's a lot for only $30 but we're on a mission. We want to spread awareness of ovarian cancer and help find a cure. We can help women and their families who are battling this disease. Ovarian cancer is often called a silent killer. It's not. It has symptons and it's our mission to let everyone - women, girls and the men that love them – know what's at stake.
What is HERA? – HERA stands for Health, Empowerment, Research and Awareness. It is non-profit named after the Greek Goddess who gave women a voice. Their mission: to stop the loss of mothers, daughters, wives and girl friends from ovarian cancer through education, awareness and funding of research at Johns Hopkins University.
How it works: When you register for Climb For Life, your $30 will be used to support scientists at Johns Hopkins. You can also raise additional funds by asking friends, family, co-workers and neighbors to sponsor you. It's easy. We promise. For those of you that go the extra mile to bring in donations, we've got a few nice things to thank you with.
Come out, have fun and be the difference you want to see in the world.
