WE CLIMB TO PROMOTE WELLNESS.

Climb 4 Kidney Cancer is more than a event—it’s a movement to raise awareness and educate about the risks of kidney cancer. Together, we climb higher for awareness, recognition, and hope.

The movement that’s turning mountains into milestones—Climb 4 Kidney Cancer rallies survivors, supporters, and teams around the world to scale stadiums and summits in honor of those impacted by kidney cancer. Every climb fuels research, raises awareness, and brings us one step closer to a cure.

Peaks For Patients

Where Passion Meets Purpose

What began as a personal love for mountain climbing has grown into a global movement honoring kidney cancer patients with climbs on all seven continents. Each journey is self-funded by the climber, allowing every donated dollar to fuel research and advocacy. Every summit tells a story — of courage, remembrance, and hope. Join us in elevating awareness and driving change — donate, dedicate a climb, or help us reach new heights.
