Join 100 musicians, cancer survivors and supporters as we hike Pikes Peak, “America’s Mountain”. The most visited mountain in North America and the second most visited mountain in the world behind Japan’s Mount Fuji, Pikes Peak forms a stunning backdrop for Colorado Springs and the Garden of the Gods. At an altitude of 14,110 feet above sea level, Pikes Peak is the 31st highest peak out of 54 Colorado peaks and offers the greatest base-to-summit elevation gain in the state: 7,400 feet. About 15,000 people a year attempt to climb Pikes Peak on foot. 100 lucky participants will be part of this historical journey.
By 2010, cancer will be the world’s leading killer taking more lives than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. The Love Hope Strength Foundation is an international, music-centric cancer charity dedicated to providing support for cancer centers and inspiration to those affected throughout the world. Having performed concerts on 5 continents in just one year’s time, we are providing critical funding and awareness for cancer centers worldwide. The mission is to save lives, right now, with the advances that have already been made in cancer care. We are traveling the globe to remote venues such as the base camp of Everest, the top of The Empire State Building, the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu, the summit of Kilimanjaro and now…Pikes Peak, reaching out through the universal language of music to purchase life saving equipment, spread awareness, promote early detection, and register people to the international marrow database so that people, like founder James Chippendale himself, can find the match that will save their lives.
Join us as we bring our message home to Colorado with Pikes Peak Rocks! The day will begin at dawn with an exclusive acoustic set by Cy Curnin of the Fixx to kick off our hike. We will be stop along the way for a second acoustic set by The White Buffalo at 12,000 feet. And finally, hike up to the summit of Pikes Peak where we will be met by thousands of daily visitors that arrive via car or train to soak in the breathtaking vistas. Here, The Bacon Brothers will perform the very first rock concert atop “America’s Mountain”. This event is not to be missed!!
