Friends and Family,
Thank you so much in advance for supporting me and Expedition Inspiration in our quest to raise money for breast cancer research and finding a cure. I am joining in the fight against this hateful disease that has taken too many mothers and grandmothers, aunts and cousins, sisters and daughters. Your donation today helps me reach my climb goal of $12000 and Expedition Inspiration's climb goal of $30,000.
The funds raised during the climb support the Laura Evans Memorial Breast Cancer Symposium, an invitation-only conference that brings renowned scientists, researchers and physicians from around the world to share unpublished information, analyze breakthroughs, discuss advances in treatment, and recognize hurdles to finding a cure.
This year I will be dedicating my climb to the daughter of my long time friend D C Jensen. Shellie Kay Jensen Hulet,only 53 passed away earlier this year of complications of breast cancer.
Shellie may you rest in peace knowing that this cause will not be stopped until a cure is found!
Thank you again for your support and encouragement!

Expedition Inspiration's 2018 Climb for a Cure
"Climbing, in many respects, is not unlike facing a life-threatening illness. You take every step alone, digging deep, focused on the goal and your own inner strength."

Mount Borah, Idaho's tallest peak!
Join Expedition Inspiration for a day of adventure, fun, hope and inspiration as we CLIMB to raise funds for breast cancer research and finding a CURE.
Our annual mountain climbs are foundational to the work we do in raising money for breast cancer research, as well as carrying on our founder’s, Laura Evans, vision. Our outdoor adventures provide so much more than survivorship – we provide those touched by breast cancer an opportunity to experience and enjoy the gifts provided by the mountains while building new relationships with likeminded people who support them in their own journey with the disease. We are not only raising spirits and hope, but we are raising critical funds for research.
The funds raised by the climbers will support the Laura Evans Memorial Breast Cancer Symposium, an invitation-only conference that brings renowned scientists, researchers and physicians from around the world to share unpublished information, analyze breakthroughs, discuss advances in treatment, and recognize hurdles to finding cures.
Until there's a CURE, there's a CLIMB!

Breast cancer survivor and mountain climber Laura Evans founded the Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research in 1995 in Ketchum, Idaho. Expedition Inspiration's mission is to raise awareness and money to benefit innovative breast cancer research, public education and patient support. Additionally, through organized and sponsored outdoor endeavors like mountain climbs and hikes, we promote the physical and mental wellbeing of breast cancer survivors. Today breast cancer affects one in every eight American women -- mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends. It is the leading cause of death for women 35-54, and 80% of women with breast cancer have no known risk factors for the disease. There is still no cure, and thus, a need continues for research support, collaboration and funding.
