Courage Climb: Climb With Us. Remember With Us.
Donation protected
Hey everyone—
In just one month, I’ll be taking part in something both physically intense and profoundly meaningful—and I’d be honored to have your support.
From May 1 to May 4, I’ll join my friend Cadre Daniel and the team at Freedom Ops , along with a dedicated group of volunteers, for Courage Climb—an event rooted in honor, sacrifice, and perseverance.
Mission 1: Help a Hero Reach His Summit
We’re rallying behind U.S. Army veteran SFC Josh Rainey, a warrior, husband, and father, whose goal is as bold as it is inspiring:
Climb Cadillac Mountain 13 times—matching the 20,310-foot elevation of Denali, the tallest peak in North America.
Josh has faced countless battles, but this one is personal. With each climb, he’s proving that purpose can outlast pain—and we’re with him every step of the way.
Mission 2: Honor the Abbey Gate 13
This climb is also a tribute to the 13 U.S. service members who gave their lives in the Abbey Gate bombing in Kabul. To honor their sacrifice, each member of our team will carry a cinder block—one for every fallen hero—up the mountain.
The weight we carry is symbolic, but the loss is real.
With every step, we remember. With every summit, we honor.
How You Can Be Part of This
Even if you’re not climbing, you can still make an impact:
- Donate – Every contribution supports event logistics and keeps this experience free for our honoree(s).
- Sponsor – Tiered sponsorships ($100–$1000) are available and come with recognition. Message me for details.
- Climb With Us – A few spots are still open if you feel called to take part. Reach out to me or Cadre Daniel.
- Follow Along – We’ll be sharing stories, photos, and live updates throughout the climb. Join the journey virtually.
This is more than a challenge.
It’s a call to serve. A moment to remember. A mission to move us all.
If this speaks to you, please consider donating, sponsoring, or simply sharing our story. Every step we take is powered by your support.
We climb with weight.
We climb with purpose.
We climb with courage.
We are in this together,
