The outdoors are for everyone but big adventures are a privilege that many cannot access without the courage and labor of others. Sherpas and high-altitude porters make these journeys possible; their strength, knowledge, and sacrifice support not only climbers but whole families and communities. That is why I am fundraising for The Juniper Fund.

The Juniper Fund supports and empowers families and communities impacted by the loss of Himalayan high-altitude workers. When a worker is injured or killed on the mountains, the consequences ripple through households — lost income, medical bills, and dreams deferred. I want to honor the people who carry us up and help carry their families through the hardest times.

Your gift will help provide immediate relief, long-term support, and resources that allow grieving families to rebuild. It means food, medical care, education for children, and dignity for those who sacrifice so much for our adventures. Giving to The Juniper Fund is a way to say thank you in the most meaningful way.

Please join me in supporting The Juniper Fund. Every donation helps protect the families of Himalayan high-altitude workers and ensures that the people who enable our journeys are not forgotten when tragedy strikes.
