Expedition Inspiration is fighting to find a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime so that we can save our daughters, mothers, brothers, sisters and all those we love from the disease. During her isolation, she dreamed of combining her two passions: mountain climbing and finding a cure for breast cancer. She imagined a team of breast cancer survivors and their supporters overcoming the challenges

of mountain climbing together to bring awareness and financial support to finding a cure for breast cancer. It would be a visible tribute to the courage of breast cancer survivors everywhere. To Laura, there was no more appropriate parallel between summiting one of the world's tallest peaks and fighting breast cancer. After recovery, Laura's dreams turned to action as she founded Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research in 1995 with Peter Whittaker. Laura set out to climb Argentina's Mt. Aconcagua is the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere. In February 1995, Laura and Peter Whittaker, premier international mountain guide and founder of Summits Adventure Travel, led a team of 17 breast cancer survivors to Aconcagua's summit. They raised awareness, research funds and hope for the breast cancer cause. From this initial effort, Expedition Inspiration has continued its mission to find breast cancer cures in our lifetime with hikes, climbs, an Annual Symposium, Young Investigator Awards and other fundraising events.

“Cancer picked on the wrong person” is what Laura Evans’ husband, Roger, declared to her when she faced her diagnosis. 30 years later, Expedition Inspiration still echoes this message boldly and unapologetically.

Cancer doesn’t stand a chance against this sisterhood 📣💕

🌟 Climber Spotlight: Cristin 🌟
“My cancer journey began on May 6, 2022, when I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.” A lumpectomy revealed it was worse than expected, extensive ductal carcinoma in situ with necrosis and calcifications.

“30 rounds of radiation were pretty intense. My body burned and rashed and peeled. On the days I worked out, I handled the treatments pretty well, but the two days I didn’t—I felt like a truck hit me. Still, I finished strong and rang the bell on September 14th.”

Now on daily medication and biannual infusions, Cristin continues her journey with the support of her oncology team and loved ones who “lift me up in prayer and remind me that I am not fighting this cancer alone.”

To honor how far she’s come, Cristin is joining Expedition Inspiration to hike Hyndman Peak 🏔️💗 and raise funds for breast cancer research. She’s already surpassed her $1,500 goal—raising $1,600 and counting.
