Climb to Beat Breast Cancer

If challenging yourself physically and mentally appeals to your adventurous side and being part of a team making a real difference inspires you, consider joining the Ascension SE Michigan Climb to Beat Breast Cancer.

Help us continue the vision of our founder, Francesco Lucarelli, who views climbing mountains as a wonderful metaphor for his conviction that - like working to prevent breast cancer - anything is possible if taken one step at a time.

As a climber, you will follow in the footsteps of Francesco, who in 2007, decided to honor his mother's memory by "climbing to fight breast cancer." His first successful attempt was to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa, in 2007. Past climbs include:

June 30, 2018: Mt. Marcy, New York

June 25, 2016: Mt. LeConte, Tennessee
