Tim's Personal Fundraising Page
By participating in this event, I've committed to raising awareness and funds to advance the care, support, and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association®.
If you know me you know that I enjoy the outdoors no matter the season, weather, or time of day. If you've been out climbing, skiing, paddling, biking, or simply adventuring with me then you know that a good time likely involves some hard work and type II fun in adverse conditions. What you may not know is that I have family members who live with this terrible disease. My Grandmother, Carol, has been living with Alzheimer's for many years now and, thankfully, is able to be in a care facility after losing my grandfather and her life partner of 65+ years to cancer a few years ago. She's in her mid-90's and is one tough cookie, having lived through some crazy times in our history; Polio, World War II, the Vietnam War, now Covid!
So I'm back at it and participating in the Camel's Hump Challenge again, but remotely. My first time participating I completed my challenge solo in a 21 hour physical push door-to-door combining fat-biking, pack-rafting, skiing, and hiking from my place in Moretown to Camels Hump and back and we raised over $2,000+ towards Alzheimer's Awareness!
Why remotely? Well... I'm down in Antarctica for work until the end of February and while I would love to be back in Vermont to complete the challenge in person, I'll need to complete the challenge down here this year. You can expect a lot of miles logged and, as par for my previous participation, a few different human powered modes of travel to complete the challenge :)
Initially I'm looking to raise $250 toward my efforts and will be sharing my challenge across my social media platforms and a thorough follow-up trip report, post-challenge. If I reach my initial goal, I may decide to raise it.
Please support my efforts by making a donation, if you can, but support comes in many forms. You could also share my efforts on your own social media channels or through word of mouth to help spread the word.
*All funds raised benefit the Alzheimer's Association and its work to enhance care and support programs and advance research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer's disease. Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer’s!
