One Question for the World



Maybe it's just that the answer is a lot simpler than we may think.

Mary's Nipple Challenge

On January 29th, myself and two friends will be participating in a hike/ski challenge with proceeds being sent to the St. John's Medical Center Oncology Fund and will be earmarked for breast cancer patients. The Oncology Fund offers financial assistance to cancer patients, helping cover costs of prostheses, travel costs associated with radiation treatments, and housecleaning services for patients going through treatment.

The event will take place in Alta, Wyoming at the Grand Targhee ski resort. There is an out of bounds peak on the mountain range, aptly named Mary's Nipple, which we will hike 650 ft up and ski back down to the starting line to complete one lap. The complete loop is one mile in length. The competition will begin at noon and end at 3pm and the goal is to complete as many laps as possible in the three-hour time frame. The team goal is for each individual to be able to complete at least 3 laps. Donations can be made in either a flat sum or a $ per vertical foot donation.

All donations will need to be received by Friday, January 28th. Please call me at 540-454-4416 if interested in sponsoring our team in this cause.
