Climb for Peace with Justice: Blog kickoff!

Welcome to my Climb for Peace with Justice blog!

My hope is that this journal will motivate me in my preparations to climb Mount Rainier and in my fundraising for Lutheran Volunteer Corps while allowing YOU to be a part of the journey.

I have been informed that Rainier is a rather large mountain and that I should train.  :)  So... I'll be documenting my progress in that.  My "training" will likely consist of some fun treks to beautiful places in Montana.  I'd like to take you all along with photos and videos.

Most importantly - raising the big bucks to support Lutheran Volunteer Corps!  It's the purpose of this climb.  So far I have raised nearly $1,000 with $2,874 of my fundraising requirement left to go.  THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed so generously already.  I will be using this as a public place express my gratitude and encourage others to pitch in (here's the link to donate).

Finally, I have recently started making good on a long-time ambition to do some songwriting (thank you Jenn Adams for the inspiration!).  A new desire of mine is to share some of my original music on this blog.  By the end of the summer I hope to be able to thank everyone who donates by mailing you a homemade recording.

So this is the blog.  Glad you found it.  Please, share widely!

...keep climbing,

Phillip
