Climbing The Seven Summits
Hope, Inspire, Achieve
The Ostomy Athlete is a team of men & women from Canada, the United States & the United Kingdom.
Together we are climbing the world’s tallest mountains including the iconic Seven Summits as well as executing the Explorer’s Grand Slam which includes skiing to the North & South Poles.
The Ostomy Athletes have Crohn’s Disease and an Ileostomy.
Our Objectives:
Inspire ostomates and those suffering from IBD and cancer that they too can return to physical activity. Each of the Ostomy Athletes have gone from hospital bed to mountain summit - so can you!
To stat conversations, to bring greater awareness and to educate the public about Crohn’s Disease & what an ostomy is and how it saves lives.
To raise millions of dollars in charitable donations to directly improve the well-being of people.
Where possible, to partner with research & development teams at medical appliance, pharmaceutical companies, universities and hospitals - R&D centered around bowel disease & ostomy.
