CLIMBING FOR A CURE FOR BREAST CANCER BORAH PEAK CLIMB Expedition Inspiration is pleased to offer the fifth climb of our Five Peaks in Five Years Series. Borah Peak, at 12,668 feet, is Idaho's highest point. It is located in the Lost River Range and offers spectacular views of the Pahsimeroi and Big Lost River Valleys. Borah Peak is flanked by seven of the state's nine 12,000-foot peaks. Only an hour drive from world famous Sun Valley, this climb offers a wonderful hiking adventure in a very remote, isolated mountain setting. Here is your chance to bag the highest peak in Idaho, climbing with Expedition Inspiration's Team of breast cancer survivors, who not only climb mountains, but move them! The Borah Peak Team will camp in the spectacular Big Lost River Valley, taking in views of the surrounding mountains and broad valleys. The Team will enjoy the hospitality of Sawtooth Mountain Guides (SMG), who will ensure that our camp offers great food, comfort, and conversation the night prior to the climb. Early the next morning, SMG will lead the climbers up the 5,500 foot ascent of the West Ridge Route. The climb is primarily a non-technical hike and scramble, with some ropes required across the infamous Chicken Out Ridge. Upon summitting, the panorama will include spectacular views of the Pioneer and White Cloud Mountain Ranges. The Borah Peak Team will enjoy a Celebration Dinner back in the Sun Valley area, after a successful day on Borah Peak. SIGN UP NOW! This is your chance to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer by joining Expedition Inspiration's Team in August 2008! DEDICATION ~ The 2008 Borah Peak Climb is dedicated to our inspiration for EI's Five Peaks In Five Years Series Ð Courtney Kapp. Her passion for hiking in the great outdoors and her love for the beauty of Idaho make this climb a fitting tribute to her energetic and inspiring spirit.

PRIVÉ PREVENTS! "Get Your Mammogram" Campaign In its commitment to the fight against Breast Cancer, Privé has created a two-tier approach to aid in finding a cure and promoting early detection. Privé Products will be donating $1.00 from the sale of the new Firm Hold Hair Spray55 Privé Formule aux Herbes #41 for the first 365 days it is on sale. Proceeds will benefit The Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research, the favorite charity of Laurent's long-time friend and client, Téa Leoni. Participating salons where Privé Products are sold also offered a select number of complementary services to women who have had their mammogram within the last year or who had their mammogram scheduled before October 31, 2007. Privé founder, Laurent D. says, "The goal is to be proactive about healthcare and remind people that mammograms are very important. Even if we succeed in influencing just one woman to have a mammogram, we have made a difference! Hopefully this initiative will truly help bring the importance of early detection to the forefront." This is the third year that Privé has supported breast cancer research and Expedition Inspiration. |
