Pledge Kari's Klimbers Teams or Members


Listed below are members of my 94-floor full-climb and half-climb for the 2008 Hustle up the Hancock!! I have cystic fibrosis and received two beautiful lungs in April, 2000. My team is named after the precious girl who saved my life, Kari, and I do this to honor her, and her family.


Listed below are my friends. Some have climbed several times, others for the first time. Some of them bring life to people like me… Some of them work with people like me… Some of them just hang around people like me… Kari wore #13 on her Algona, Iowa high school volleyball team – some of them were Kari’s teammates…
