I am hiking in memory of my brother, Jesse, who lost his battle with bipolar disorder on October 18, 2019. In 1990, Jesse and I, just teenagers at the time, attempted to climb Mt. Fuji. We never made it to the summit, but it was an incredible experience all the same. Each obstacle we faced along the way, we lifted each other up, sometimes quite literally! Jesse’s love of the outdoors, his sense of adventure, humor, and spontaneity will be with me forever. Every mile I hike, every peak I climb, will be in his honor.
Would you please consider making a donation, leaving a message, or sharing this page?
Thank you so much.
