About Us

We climb to promote wellness, research, and to elevate and celebrate those affected by kidney cancer.

The parallels, symbols and comparisons between climbing and the battle against Kidney Cancer are rich. Climbing is a metaphor for life and its application is even more insightful to those facing the challenge of kidney cancer.

Why We Climb

  • Patient Stories

    Patient stories are powerful and inspiring. We share stories of kidney cancer patients around the world and help celebrate and elevate those affected by kidney cancer.
