I encourage you to join us in this important work and help us continue the vision of our founder Francesco Lucarelli. 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.
 
As a climber, you will follow in the footsteps of Francesco Lucarelli, who in 2007, decided to honor his mother's memory by "climbing to fight breast cancer." His first successful attempt was to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa, in 2007.  Other climbs include:
  • 2008  Mount Aconcagua, Argentina
  • 2009  Pikes Peak, Colorado
  • 2010  Mount Washington, New Hampshire
  • 2011  Ben Lomond, Utah
Apply today to join an inspirational team of people and share an experience of a lifetime.
 
Donations made in support of the climbers will benefit the St. John Providence Breast Care Program.
