All done - at last!

Adrian and Deborah made the summit of Mt. Shasta in February 2008. On the descent they decided to go for all the California mountains over 14,000 ft high. It transpired that this was a tough challenge. Deborah and Adrian decided that such a challenge merited a better reason than just 'beacuse it is there'. So they pledged to the cancer charity 'City Of Hope'. Four years later they completed the climbs. Read their stories and supoport the charity 'City Of Hope'.

If you would like to help Adrian and Deborah reach their goal, please Donate Now at the City Of Hope website.

Climbing the 14ers with us is Ray Kablanow who is raising money for ' Howard Training Center'.

 
"Thank you for allowing us to know our climb is making a difference. Your contribution to City Of Hope.net will support important research to help find a cure for cancer and motivate us to make each summit!

Thanks

Adrian Crane and Deborah Steinberg"

Adrian's bio:

In 1993 I climbed all the 14ers in Colorado, but I have climbed, run, hiked and adventure-raced in many of the most glorious places in the world. During my travels I have found people everywhere to be unfailingly kind and positive, whether it is someone from a small village in Tibet, or a large city in Kenya. After working quietly with an Arab computer programmer or negotiating with an American store owner I know that everyone wants to be fair and understanding. None of us deserve to be striken by cancer and all of us want to work together for a cure. My younger brother died of cancer and prompted me to help where I could. Since I do not work in biotech or medicine, I hope that these efforts in my area of expertise can help those who can directly work toward a cure. I have a wife and two sons, and we live in Modesto, California.

Deborah's bio:

Deborah Steinberg is an Optometrist and Girl Scout Leader in Modesto, California.
She is married with two daughters. She enjoys any kind of outdoor adventure that takes her to remote, natural, quiet places, which gives her mother fits until she returns safely. Fortunately her husband, Ross Redding, is a tolerant sort of guy and enjoys the outdoors as well. To stay in shape she likes running with her dogs in the park and is able to keep up with Adrian only because she makes herself do stairmaster at the gym. Adrian is able to tolerate her because she doesn’t whine too much. Her first summit of Mt. Shasta was in 2006.

"Everyone knows someone whose life has been touched by cancer. We draw strength from their courage, and hope that our efforts will make a difference in finding a cure. Our wish is that each ascent brings us closer to that goal."
