PROSTATE CANCER CLIMB
Two Gay Women To Climb Kilimanjaro For Prostate Cancer Research 220,000 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year and more than 30,000 will die from the disease. One in five men diagnosed will be under 60 years of age. The Prostate Cancer Climb was started by Dr. Terry Weyman, a chiropractor who lost his father, Hap Weyman, to prostate cancer in 1990. In 2001, 15 climbers including five cancer survivors climbed Mount Aconcagua in Argentina. The 2003 Kilimanjaro team includes climbers from three continents; the prostate cancer survivors on the team range in age from 53 to 75. The series of climbs is intended to raise $1 million for prostate cancer
research and education. Holly indicated that "this disease has a gender, but death doesn't, and grief doesn't. I didn't climb Kilimanjaro the first time I saw it. I'm thrilled to have a second chance and this is only a mountain. Imagine a second chance at life. Kimberly has personally experienced the affects of cancer. "
I lost my father to cancer, and at that time no
mountain I could have climbed would have saved him.
I'm climbing this one to save someone else's father." Their goal is to
raise $12,000 for the Prostate Cancer Research Institute.
