Matthew’s Fundraiser to Support Recovery Climbers
Hey guys, I am donating to support a program that changed my life forever. I know what it did for me and so I want to support it in this way so others have the chance to be transformed by this experience. Let us all together rise above.
My life has been completely transformed by summiting Rainier and being apart of Recovery Beyond. Let me explain how: I’ve been sober 2.5 years, in the best shape of my life, have been employed for more then two years, been trained by the best businessmen in the state, lost 75 lbs, consistently see my daughter, have smoked cigarettes for over two years, completed EMDR(Trauma Therapy)released a album entitled God’s Plan, ran two half marathons, a tough mudder(10 mile 30 obstacles), have had secure housing since I left the shelter, build my lasting relationships, working on my LP album, climbed baker and hood, read 38 books, listened to hundreds of audio tapes, wrote thousands of words in my spiritual studies, have a church home Mukilteo Pres. Church, completely separated myself from anyone that uses drugs including loved ones, learned how to treat my finances like a business, learned sales and marketing/business management, and most importantly grew my faith and recovery beyond the world of climbing. I want to give a special thanks to Nate Lanting for always making time for me. Your awesome dude. All to Christ
