I've always been a dreamer. Pictures, videos and stories of mountain climbers have always captured my imagination and pushed me to make that my reality. One of my biggest dreams is to climb and ski in the Himalayas, which is why my heart aches for the people there.It's been nearly two weeks since the devastating earthquake hit Nepal, and stories of the devastation in remote villages are just trickling in. If you've ever been moved by stories of harrowing Himalayan climbing, touched by photos of grandiose mountains or the smile of a beautiful Nepali child, if you have a love of wild places, NOW is the time to give. Nepal is the backbone of our collective inspiration-let's raise it back up. Join athletes, photographers, mountain guides and writers from across the globe in rallying much needed support for the remote mountain villages of Nepal. The organizations involved with this fundraiser WILL make a difference. Check out my profile and follow the link to donate.
