Help Larry raise money

For participating in Hike for Her 2024

My Story…

I'm hiking for her, to raise awareness and funds that will create opportunities for girls in tough places.

I'm supporting the work of my wife Marina, who has dedicated her professional life to helping girls participate in athletics, including hiking and climbing, to stay in school longer, to marry later, and approach life with higher levels of confidence than girls who don't.  

When girls are empowered, the whole society benefits.

But many girls have significant hurdles placed in front of them.  My wife Marina started Ascend in 2014 to create pathways for those girls.  She has made a difference, and the alumni network of Ascend'ers continues to grow in impact and size.  

Marina's organization has always been grass roots and driven by values and dedicated donors.  Every dollar raised in this Hike 4 Her event has tremendous impact, supporting girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan....yes, Ascend is still working in Afghanistan.  

Thank you for your support.

Donate to help Larry raise money for Hike for Her 2024’s fundraising campaign.
