The Climb to Fight Breast Cancer offers mountains to climb for every skill level. Climbers can honor a loved one or celebrate their own victory over breast cancer by conquering peaks in the U.S., Mexico, Russia or Tanzania while raising money for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Each peak has its own fundraising level that the participant must reach.
