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!

Christina Harlow, AKA “Lumps”, became a First Descents lifer in 2016 as a participant on a climbing trip and was soon back as a medical volunteer. She works as a nurse practitioner in a rural Vermont Emergency Department to pay the bills and maintain skills but her true love is playing in the woods on a bike, skis, or any other method that gets her there. She dreams of big rocks, cold water, and bonfires. She happily spends most days playing in the dirt, caring for her several animals on her mini-farm, and making a lot of homemade stuff with her two daughters and rockin’ husband.
