Thank you!

What a triumphant climb we had! HUGE thank you to all who supported our climbers. We had eleven incredible survivors join us up Hyndman Peak. You can learn more about these inspiring women and support them HERE.

Our improved hike program is designed to meet each survivor where she is on her physical journey. Everyone’s journey is different, and we celebrate each step, each milestone, each ‘summit.’ We will be meeting for training hikes, movement events, and social gatherings throughout the spring to ensure that we are physically, mentally, and emotionally supported on our journey to Hyndman.

For more information, please visit our climb page or contact Hailey directly: ei@expeditioninspiration.org Thanks!

 

We are thrilled to announce the 2023 Young Investigator Award Recipient: Dr. Andi Cani.

Dr. Cani, from the University of Michigan, will receive a $25,000 grant from EI to study tumor evolution through liquid biopsy and single-CTC RNA profiling. Dr. Cani has been praised for his "intellectual curiosity," as well as his "technical skills, depth of knowledge, productivity, and independence."

Dr. Cani immigrated to the United States from his native Albania on his own at the age of 18 to pursue his higher education and training in the US. His story is one of hope and courage, and this certainly translates to his research. We are thrilled to support his work and are eager to cheer him on during his career! We look forward to hearing from Dr. Cani who will be presenting at our 2025 Laura Evans Memorial Breast Cancer Symposium. Thank you to all who donated at OktoberBreast to make the award possible!

HUGE thank you to all who supported this year's OktoberBreast fundraiser at Franz Witte. We are so grateful to our friends and partners with this event: Franz Witte, Casting for Recovery, and River Discovery, and Saint Alphonsus’s mammogram bus. EI received $25,359 to support our mission.

Thank you to our incredible community of sponsors and donors, and everyone who attended! We can't wait for next year!

We are on an expedition to end breast cancer by funding research, empowering collaboration, and cultivating inspiration.

 

Laura Evans, founder

In 1990, Laura Evans ended her 7th week in isolation during a bone marrow transplant to fight Stage III breast cancer. Her vision for combining mountain climbing and finding a cure for breast cancer  would be a visible tribute to the courage of breast cancer survivors everywhere.

"Climbing, in many respects, is not unlike facing a life-threatening illness. You take every step alone, digging deep, focused on the goal and your own inner strength."
