Climb For A Cure | Climbing Aconcagua to Cure Lymphoma

Climbing to cure lymphoma

In January 2008, a team of two climbers summited
Mount Aconcagua, in Argentina, to raise money for
the Lymphoma Research Foundation and increase
awareness of lymphoma and other life threatening
diseases.

Aconcagua is the highest peak in the Western
Hemisphere, at 22,841 feet, and is one of the
"Seven Summits" (the highest peaks on each of the
seven continents).

All expenses for the climbing expedition have been
funded by the climbers themselves. All of your
generous donation goes directly to the Lymphoma
Research Foundation. Over $2000 has been
raised for the LRF to date, and we will continue
collecting donations in conjunction with this climb
through mid-February. Thank you!

"Thank you!" hardly seems adequate considering what you did to sponsor your climb on John's behalf and to also benefit others who are dealing with a lymphoma diagnosis. We are so proud of both of you on your amazing accomplishment and thanks to your families at home waiting for your safe return.
