Hello, I am SGT Peter Gaspar (US Army, Retired). THANK YOU for visiting The Ascenders' fundraising page! I hope you will consider supporting us through a donation or becoming a part of our team! Your kind donations to the Climb for Heroes in 2015-2019 have INSPIRED me to climb Mt. Baldy AGAIN to raise money for disabled Veterans of The Heroes Project and their programs. During my service (1982-1989), I saw soldiers injured in the line of duty. Some survive and thrive. Others fall thru the cracks... forgotten. With The Heroes Project, I can help my fellow Veterans.  

The Heroes Project (THP) empowers our injured community, through physical and emotional training, to explore the farthest reaches of themselves and the world they live in. Expeditions challenge the severely wounded to redefine their personal limits post injury. THP inspires our injured men and women to find purpose, both physically and mentally, and ignites others to do the same.

This is my 6th year as a Team Captain. The Ascenders we are ready to go! PLEASE support my efforts to raise $6500 by HIKING & FUNDRAISING with us. Or you can also HELP us by making a secure online DONATION here.

And please follow @theheroesproject on Instagram and check out their website at www.theheroesproject.org.
