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.

Legacy on the Ridge
We have climbed mountains for kidney cancer patients all around the world. These self funded climbs allow us to use every dollar donated to fund life-saving kidney cancer research.
-

Stair Climbing Events
Founded in Minneapolis in 2013, we organize stair-climbing events to raise funds for kidney cancer research while celebrating and educating those affected by the disease. Today, we proudly host annual climbs in both Minneapolis and Cleveland.
-

Fund Research
100% of donation money and all net proceeds from climbing events are used to fund kidney cancer research. For many years, we’ve provided scholarships to entice the brightest minds to do kidney cancer research.
