When I joined the Spokane Mountaineers in 2004 my goal was to eventually climb Mt. Rainier and to have the skills to do it safely.  It is now 5 years later and I have yet to climb it, but when I heard about SADS and the opportunity to climb and raise funds and awareness, I knew this was my time to climb Rainier!  I love to be in the outdoors and enjoy a lot of activities.  Those activities include:  Hot Air Ballooning, skiing, biking, climbing - Mountains, rock and ice, white water rafting, snowshoeing, gardening and well you get the idea...I love being in the outdoors!  When I'm not outside, I love to cook, sew, read a book and enjoy watching a movie or two. 

What do I do for work?  I am a Special Education Teacher and I have been teaching for 19 years.  I love my students and find it very rewarding to work with such special young kids!

My Christian faith is extremely important to me and I know that anything is possible through God.  I love to attend and help out at events at Lifecenter, my church here in Spokane.

I do hope you will take the time to read more about SADS and then if you want, donate to my fundraising account.  This is a life-saving foundation that needs more public awareness.

So PLEASE donate today and help me climb Mt. Rainier!

Thank you for joining our campaign to save lives by raising money to continue patient family support and SADS education programs. Several thousand young people die unnecessarily each year from SADS (Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes) in the United States, and education is the answer.

Funds raised through the Climb to Conquer SADS will:

 

• Provide Family Support to assist patients and their families in making informed medical decisions and living with the challenges of these conditions
• Increase General Awareness of Warning Signs to recognize and prevent heart rhythm abnormalities
• Educate Health Care Professionals in early diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm abnormalities
• Be Advocates to increase arrhythmia research and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
