Goal

Hello!


I am excited to share my journey with you about this upcoming adventure! I will be heading to Tanzania in East Africa this October to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in support of nabs 40th anniversary!!  


Earlier this year, I joined the nabs West board to support and give back to an organization that has helped so many of my colleagues and friends in the advertising, marketing and communications industry. nabs is there to help support the well-being of those who are going through challenging times. I’ve been working in the media industry for over 27 years now and I couldn’t think of a better way to help this organization!


Part of the reason I wanted to do the climb was to put myself in a vulnerable position and overcome fear. I know the climb won’t be easy, but it’s a challenge I have accepted, and I will make it to the summit! There is no question that not only will this climb be a physical challenge, but a mental one too and I will be working hard over the next few months to get prepared.


Please help support me in my journey and my goal to help nabs. With your support we can make a real difference to those struggling and in need. I am grateful for whatever you can share. Knowing the support I have behind me will definitely help me reach the top!


For more information on nabs, please keep reading.

 

In nabs' 40 year history, we’ve climbed a lot of mountains for clients and with clients - often with their families.  nabs shows up, assembles a circle of care and provides a beacon of light when things seem impossible.


Our dynamic and impactful programming and services have been lifesaving.


After 40 years, you would think nabs would be tired of all the mountain climbing.  On the contrary, we are just beginning.  Our passion for the industry and our community knows no bounds and now we have recruited 20 climbers from every market we serve in Canada, to climb WITH US, and raise the funds needed to sustain and build the next best version of nabs.  Here’s to nabs next 40! 


Support our climbers here …. And help us raise $150,000 to inform our next 40!!
