I'm David Press . . . why I'm Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro and how you can help support my quest . . .
The idea to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro was actually an EASY goal to establish. I was approaching a milestone birthday and decided to get myself in better shape. I would now set the benchmark for my own physicality going forward. After all… I am the CEO of my own well being.
The epiphany of the BIG idea then occurred to me. I should do the IMPORTANT thing.
I felt compelled to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro as a personal challenge to raise funds for St. John's Healthcare Foundation right here in Camarillo & Oxnard.
The funds are being raised to support the "Circle of Dignity Campaign" which will help take St. John's Healthcare to even greater heights.
Please join me in this truly compelling endeavor as I
"Hike for Dignity." Join the Team that will lead St. John's Hospitals in providing state of the art healthcare throughout this century.
LET'S BE GREAT TOGETHER. PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY. CLIMB ON!
David's climb begins this September 21st and the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro will be reached on September 27th. Come climb with David during this period in real-time on this website!
