My personal message:

I hope you will join me in supporting a cause that has had a positive and transformative effect on my life - Washington National Parks!  To motivate you, your support will be TRIPLED!!!  Yes, $25 becomes $100 and $125 becomes $500!!!  How you ask?  Your donation will be matched by the generous support of Microsoft, Prudential and me. 

On July 20, 2009 a team of seven and I will attempt to climb Mt. Rainier to benefit Washington National Parks.  To ensure success, International Mountain Guides is leading the effort.   Our climbing team has been training regularly and we're confident about our upcoming success.  I am seeking $2,500 in pledges to support Washington National Parks and greatly appreciate your support.

Off the mountain, I am on the board of directors for the Washington National Park Fund - a nonprofit foundation that raises money for the three National Parks located right here in the state of Washington (i.e., Mt. Rainier National Park, Olympic National Park and North Cascades National Park).

One of the things the foundation does to support Park superintendents is provide easy access and bonding experiences to underprivileged families.  Building individuals, families, friends and communities is ultimately what Washington National Parks are all about. 

We have three National treasures right here in Washington state! Given the economic downturn, many families are seeking local low cost experiences that enhance quality of life and cultivate interpersonal development and enrichment. Let's not take these back-yard luxuries for granted!

National parks are appealing to the voting public - accepting the financial responsibility to maintain and promote them is not. As one who has been shaped by Washington's National Parks - personally, spiritually and physically - I support this cause and hope you will join me.  Again, all donations are TRIPLED as Microsoft, Prudential and I will match your contributions!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Thank you for your generous support!

Please share this with friends and family who you think would like to support my cause!
