If you want to help make sure fewer people—men and women, including yourself and your loved ones—never have to go through this, support Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP.org). They’re an amazing group working to reduce exposure to toxic chemicals linked to breast cancer. Please join me in spreading the word and helping the cause.
Follow the climbers’ journey! 23 volunteer climbers from across the country will attempt Mt. Shasta’s 14,179 ft. peak to challenge the 1 in 8 odds of a woman’s breast cancer diagnosis. Many climb in honor of their own or a loved one’s experience with breast cancer or other diseases, carrying prayer flags inscribed with names up the mountain. They all climb for prevention so that no one should have to hear the words “you have breast cancer.” The team is gathered at Mt. Shasta in Northern California for this 3-day climb.

BCPP taught my mom that certain chemicals, diet, and other environmental exposures might increase the risk of a future breast cancer diagnosis for her young daughters, and it was through BCPP that she learned and became empowered to make informed choices about how to keep us as safe and healthy as she could. My mom’s support for BCPP was her gift to us. And that’s why supporting BCPP is so important to me.
What a wild roller coaster ride 2020 has been for the Climb Against the Odds. We started out like gangbusters, filling the team in record time and even expanding from the normal team size to accommodate all that were eager to join us. Everyone jumped into fundraising and training with enthusiasm and the BCPP team worked to organize the logistics for our long weekend in Mt. Shasta.
