Why Challenge?

First Descents is all about challenge. Through challenge our participants learn and grow. They defy cancer, reclaim their lives and live it on their terms. Challenge gives us confidence and identity. It builds community and strengthens bonds. In short, challenge heals.

What is Team FD?

Team FD is a fundraising platform for our volunteers, supporters, participants and staff. You pick a challenge (anything from a 10K run to climbing a 14K ft mountain to yoga) and then you ask your friends and family to support you and support First Descents in honor of your challenge.

Are you ready to Accept the Challenge?

Tired of the same old new year’s resolutions?  Lose weight, get more organized, drink more water, drink less alcohol, blah blah blah.  Let’s get real.  Why not take on something greater…a legitimate CHALLENGE…one that that will actually inspire and kick-start you to a more healthy, vigorous and adventurous life?   And while you’re at it, how about a challenge that not only benefits you but also truly gives another the gift of life?
