Mount Rainier Summit Success!

At 6am Saturday morning, July 14th, cousin Ken Mietzner and myself arrived at the summit of Mt. Rainier safely. I would like to thank all those who contributed donations and support for our philanthropic campaign to reach the summit. Together, Ken and I were able to raise over $10,000 for the American Lung Association.

This is the 25th year of the ALA Climb for Clean Air. This has been made possible through the partnership with RMI, whose guidance has given us the 'tools' or knowledge to climb the 14,410' peak. Over the past 25 years, more than $5,000,000 has been raised for ALA through this program.

Thanks to the ALA volunteers and staff, our RMI guides, my ALA climbing team, friends and family for helping cure lung disease through research and prevention programs.

Look for a summary of the climb this week. I will be working at posting photos this evening - check back soon!
