What Are We Doing?

Welcome to our blog!  We have never had a blog before, but with our friends and family all over the country this seems like the best way to keep our supporters involved.
You may ask what supporters, why do you need supporters? 
Well....
Ryan and I are going to climb Mt. Rainier, and while training and climbing the mountain is a big adventure we have also decided to do it for a great cause by raising $7000 for American Lung Association.  My Dad is also going to be raising money and training on the east coast to join us this July.  While this sounds like a huge undertaking, we are very excited and know that with the love of our friends and family we can do this!
If you have had the chance to visit us or already live here you know about "The Mountain".  People here refer to Mt. Rainier as "The Mountain".  People gauge the day being a good day if you can see "Her".  By the way, today was a great day because it is November and you could see Her.    Mt. Rainier is an icon of the northwest and a beauty that still continues to awe us after 5 years of living here.  We consider it to be a treat everytime you come around a turn on the highway or on the hiking trail and you get to see Mt. Rainier.  The mountain is so amazing we have it on our state quarter, we have it on our license plate, there is a national park surrounding it, we even have a local beer with its namesake.
So visit this blog often for fundraising updates, the trials of training, and doing all of this as a team.
