“I hike a lot,” says Steve Finch, “But what made this climb unique and powerful was the idea that we hiked as a team, and that the dialogue among us was all about cancer and its impact on all our lives. And, more importantly, that we can do something about it to help others. The metaphor of hiking this particular, very challenging trail juxtaposed with the struggle I remember when cancer was in my family, knowing that millions of people are struggling with it today as patients and family members of patients, was an important lesson. Even if cancer isn’t front and center for you right now, it is for someone, and it likely will be for you in the future; so be part of a team, be part of the fight. Let’s all make fighting cancer less difficult for everyone.”
