Upcoming Events

Mount McKinley Breast Cancer Climb
On June 25, 2008, Connecticut mountaineer and Yale Senior Research Analyst, Lew Nescott, Jr., will attempt a summit of Alaska’s Mount McKinley to benefit the Yale Cancer Center Breast Cancer Program.  The 2008 Mount McKinley Breast Cancer Climb, which is made possible through the generous corporate support of Trailblazer LLC, will honor the courage of survivors, and the memory of those before them, by raising vital funds for state-of-the-art breast cancer research underway at Yale.  The climb should take between 18 and 22 days to complete and will move through five camps all the way to the summit, weather permitting.  For more information, go to Mount McKinley Breast Cancer Climb.
