So many wish to speak out and 46Climbs allowed me to be a voice for those in need of our support understanding and encouragement. Looking forward […]
“Spending time with close friends for a great cause found us on a trail new to us, which serendipitously aligned us with a random person who had lost a brother to suicide. It was and is divine intervention that will propel this cause to touch others in a wonderful loving way”. – Denise Gruttadaro
