Yushu County in Qinghai, China was the hardest hit area in the quake and is at an elevation of 3300 meters. Mt. Fuji, Japan’s tallest peak is roughly the same at 3776 meters. On July 10th we are going to climb Mt. Fuji in preparation for our trip to the Tibetan Plateau from July 17th. We would like to use this climb both to condition ourselves for high altitude and to raise awareness for the children of Yushu that we are going to help. Our team is building on extensive experience in Sichuan and Haiti to help trauma children in Yushu.

CLIMB MT. FUJI FOR CHARITY

Sponsor our trauma work in Yushu by sponsoring a climber!
We would like to raise $1 for each meter of elevation in Japan’s famous peak. You can pledge as many meters as you like and we will use the money to conduct OperationSAFE camps for children who suffered trauma in the earthquake.

If you would like to hike Mt. Fuji with us and help us raise money for charity you are more than welcome!

WE CLIMBED IT!

Some of the team literally ran up the mountain and climbed it in 3.5 hours! The rest of us took a little longer (7 hours up) but no less of a challenge.  We have raised about 1/3rd of our fundraising goal and still need your help.  Please make a donation today to help the children of the Tibetan Plateau!
