Project 365

On January 16th 2012, I marked my 13th year of living with diabetes. It also
marked day one for Project 365, a diabetes empowerment initiative that I
took on with the support of my wife Stefanie. The goal was to climb every
single day consecutively on a transcontinental expedition-that would last
for 365 days.Over months that followed we dealt with the highs and lows of diabetes
while living on the road-we sold all our “stuff” and left our home
behind-and faced uncertainty, separation, encounters with animals, heat,
cold, rain, snow and dust while residing in an 1987 station wagon-all to
show that diabetes does not have to be the biggest challenge we can
face in our lives.
On January 15th, 2013, I clipped the chains on the hardest climbing route
I have ascended to date, setting a personal record for my own climbing
career to complete my 365th consecutive day of climbing-establishing
the first transcontinental climbing challenge of this nature.

Over the course of Project 365 I had the privilege to share
some amazing climbs with some wonderful people and I did my best to capture
some of those moments in photo galleries. The Project 365 documentary will be
completed and available to watch in 2014, right here!
