Rainier, July 2002 Left to right: Jill Hopkins, Eve Ruff, Susan Yaszay, Julie Gralow Mount Rainier A team of four enthusiastic climbers set off July 17th for Expedition Inspiration's annual climb of Mt. Rainier. Eve Ruff, Jillian Hopkins, Susan Yaszay and Julie Gralow undertook this arduous adventure to raise funds for breast cancer research. Detoured, but not undone by weather, the team had a wonderful climbing experience. Many thanks to Julie Gralow, MD, who organized the team and also sits as Chair of the Expedition Inspiration Medical Board. The next Update will have an article by Eve Ruff on her experiences on Mt. Rainier.
