Climb for Hope was organized to raise and channel funds towards targeted and promising research in the fight against breast cancer.  Our mission is to find a viable treatment for breast cancer within the next three years.

In two years, we’ve raised over $550,000, for a vaccine being developed at Johns Hopkins University. Not only does the vaccine address some of the most aggressive and lethal forms of Breast Cancer, but the research is expected to derive advances for many forms of cancer as well. Our work sped up the work being done by Dr. Leisha Emens by more than 6 months, potentially saving thousands of lives. One day this vaccine could be used preventatively in high risk women. 

Since 2007 more than 60 climbers have reached the summits of Mt. Cotopaxi, Kilimanjaro and Mt. Adams, changing their lives forever. More importantly, they’ve stepped up to make a real difference in the fight against breast cancer.
