As we head into our 25th year of healing adventures this holiday season, our goal is to raise $50,000 to help fund transformative experiences for young adults impacted by cancer and MS.
To achieve our goal, we rely on the generous support of donors like YOU to Give the Gift of Adventure. Thank you for making our life-changing work possible!

A Boulder, CO, native, she has spent several years as a competitive sponsored climber traveling to exotic locations such as Thailand, China, Europe, and Nepal. When not scaling a rock face, she can be found hiking around Rocky Mountain National Park and doing yoga.

Olivia has generously volunteered her time to teach Yoga at FIRST DESCENTS camps which has earned her the nickname of “Pretzel”.
