Thank you to all who have donated to support the Veterans Project for this event. After signing up to complete this hike, I was diagnosed with Melanoma on my leg and recently had surgery. I have recovered pretty well but will need to complete my hike closer to home this time as a virtual participant. I plan to be back at it next year and summit Mt. Baldy as planned. 

My teammate, Kristine, will be there for this year's climb and I will follow her progress as I hike locally.
