ROMP: Heather Shorey will be climbing in loving memory of her brother Rocky Shorey (2021 ROMP Elite Cotopaxi Team) who carried her on her first climb after her amputation, so others like her can too experience the gift of mobility and do their own Beautiful Thangs with the proper prosthetic care and devices. Please consider supporting the Range of Motion Project with a donation to help expand their important work into a new clinic in a new country. Having access to nature and the outdoors is something Heather is so grateful to experience, especially as an amputee. She believes every one of us deserves that right. Rocky did too. He loved discovering new routes and helping others discover new routes of potential within themselves. Heather recalled doing a hike with him in recent years in which they found themselves quite literally forging through reeds and foliage twice as large as them and as ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ was blasting Rocky said to her, “It’s not an adventure without venturing off the beaten path.” So to Rocky, Heather says, “Hana Hou! Let’s go do this #SHOREthang in #SHOREstyle — it’s my turn to carry you.” #whatsyourmountain #mobilityforall

VOLCANO RESCUE TEAM: This was the team who so valiantly and respectfully recovered Rocky's body from Mt. St. Helens. All team members are long time volunteers who dedicate their time, passion, energy and personal resources (including gear and equipment) to keep everyone on the mountain safe. Donations will help to support their efforts.
