This is a list of the 4,000 foot mountains Atticus and I climbed this past winter that were decidicated to individuals who are fighting cancer, have beaten it, or have died from it. There are a few other mountains that were dedicated but they were not climbed yet. Even though winter is over, once those mountains are climbed they will be added to this list.
Friends, family members, and loved ones could dedicate a mountain to someone for $50. The donation went to the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In a few instances, mountains that were not claimbed were dedicated to individuals I know or knew or know of.

Had I known about your Winter Quest (oh how I wish I did), I would have dedicated a few mountains for sure to family members and friends who were fighting cancer and who passed away from it. Thank you to you and Atticus so much for all the dedications.
