MJG BENEFIT CLIMB (July)

From Jeff Moore (*Thank you for organizing this Jeff)

Greetings friends,

For the past three summers I have trained for and climbed a mountain to benefit "Big City Mountaineers" (a non profit organization that mentors at risk inner city teens). This past summer I climbed Mt. Rainier shortly after the unfortunate passing of our friend and colleague, Michael J. Gressman. As you know Michael courageously battled Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) which is the most common and most aggressive of the primary brain tumors. While I feel cheated that I did not know Michael as well as I would have liked, his story, the way he lived his life and his heroic battle have inspired me. Michael was attempting to be the first person to complete an Ironman Triathlon with a brain tumor. While Michael did not have the opportunity to finish this race, his family and friends have committed to continue his fight against this killer disease and to honor his spirit through remembrance and action.

While I was climbing Rainier last summer I though of Michael and his brother Eric quite often and was inspired to do something for them and brain cancer research. This summer I will be climbing a mountain to raise funds and awareness for the "Michael J. Gressman Brain Tumor Research Fund".
