I’ve decided to do this hike to celebrate my favorite Aunt Lena who we lost to cancer when I was just a kid. She was the one who would let us have cake for breakfast. Both of my parents have also had bouts with cancer and they are two of the lucky ones who were able to get through it. I’ve seen first hand what organizations like Love, Hope, Strength can do for people when they need it the most. I can’t think of a better reason to be in the mountains. Thanks to those who got me here!
