Climbing toward our goal.
Every step counts on our journey to raise funds for mental health programs in Michigan and Massachusetts. Like climbing a mountain, the path may be steep, but together, we can reach new heights. Your support brings us closer to our goal, helping to break the stigma surrounding mental health and empower individuals to find healing in the great outdoors. Watch as our mountain fills—each donation makes a difference.
