Mount Washington Challenge Team Reaches the Summit - June 26, 2010
It appealed to their adventurous side. They wanted to be part of a team that could make a real difference in the fight against breast cancer. They were inspired. They challenged themselves, physically and mentally.
The St. John Providence Health System Foundations Climb to Beat Breast Cancer ~ Mount Washington Challenge Team reached the Summit of Mount Washington in North Conway, New Hampshire.
The climbers followed in the footsteps of Francesco who has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa, in 2007, Mount Aconcagua, Argentina, in 2008, and Pikes Peak, Colorado, in 2009. He views climbing mountains as a wonderful metaphor for his conviction that - like working to prevent breast cancer - anything is possible if taken one step at a time.
Donations made in support of the climbers will benefit the St. John Providence Breast Care Program.
