Hello, my name is Baylen Bean. I am an endurance athlete from Ellensburg, WA. Over the course of my running career, I have received so much support from friends, family, and the community. I now wish to use my running to give back to the community.

In order to raise money for the Gretchen Weller Foundation, I am taking on the Everesting challenge. I will be running the Westberg Trail of Manastash Ridge until I have run the elevation of Mount Everest, 29,032 ft. In total, the run will be about 65 miles and will take more than a day to complete.

I have chosen the Gretchen Weller Foundation because having lost two of my grandparents to cancer, I want to support the difference they make in the lives of individuals and families who are impacted by cancer.
