CLIMBING FOR TIM IN 2024!
Climb. Conquer. Cure.
March 24th, 2024
Greetings to all my past supporters and those who may consider supporting me in my next BIG CLIMB SEATTLE which will take place at the Columbia Center Tower on Sunday, March 24, 2024.
This will be my ninth Big Climb. Every year has been better in terms of the generosity of my supporters. Last year I raised $13,400!
LLS is making great strides in their research for cures and therapies for blood cancers.
Although my son Tim was not able to overcome his rare lymphoma, others are beating their blood cancers because of the ongoing work of LLS.
It is not at all easy to climb those 69 floors, but I will do it again if my efforts can help even one patient survive.
Will you please consider helping me surpass last year's total? I would be so grateful.
Thank you!
Climbing for Tim in 2024!!

What is the Big Climb?
The Big Climb is a stairclimb up the Columbia Center - the tallest skyscraper in downtown Seattle. There are 69 floors of stairs, 1311 steps, and 788 feet of vertical elevation. Although it will be challenging, it pales in comparison to what blood cancer patients go through. All proceeds benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Who is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society?
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The mission of LLS is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
Every day, more than 347 LLS sponsored researchers come closer to the goal of finding a cure for leukemia and related blood cancers. Locally, LLS funds 10 researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and University of Washington Medical Center. Your support and commitment to the mission of LLS enables us to continue this important work of saving lives and aids us in our ability to reach patients in our community.
Thank you for your time and I hope that you will consider donating to this cause!
