Elephant Magazine
Elephant Magazine will be doing an interview with Sean Patrick and Eden Ellman’s work with The HERA Foundation for their weekly ele:vision interviews. These are posted weekly on the Elephant Website and on YouTube. The interviews are filmed each Thursday evening—as soon as it’s warm enough they’ll be doing them at The Trident Café’s backyard patio, and they are also planning special, Saturday ele:visions filmed at the band shell by the Famer’s Market. The best and most powerful interviews are transcribed and printed in the magazine. We are working on a date; it will be just before the Climb4Life event this summer in Boulder.

Press Release: Local Front Range Businesses Involved with HERA Climb4Life event

Local Businesses Go Above and Beyond in Support of Ovarian Cancer Fundraising
(Boulder/Denver, CO)
April 10, 2007, Local companies CAMP-USA and Great Trango Holdings develop products to raise awareness for the HERA Foundation, a Carbondale-based nonprofit that raises money and awareness for ovarian cancer research, and volunteer at Front Range’s first summer Climb4Life event.
With thousands of women affected by ovarian cancer every year, the owners and employees of local climbing/mountaineering product companies CAMP-USA and Great Trango Holdings, became convinced that they could use their connections, prominence within the climbing community, and even their products to further raise awareness and funds for the HERA Foundation.
“Once we were in the know about the HERA Foundation, the rest was history,” says Jesse Mattner, CAMP USA's brand manager. “HERA is a cause worth supporting, and we are inspired to do all we can to help.” Help this year came in the form of helmets and harnesses in HERA’s signature color, teal. Designed specifically to raise awareness for the organization, a portion of funds from sales will go to the foundation.
CAMP has been a Seven Summits sponsor for the Foundation for four years, and are credited with bringing HERA’s popular Climb4Life event to Front Range this summer, June 15-17. As the primary sponsors of Boulder and Denver’s first event, they are involved on various levels, from donating money to volunteering for the planning of the event and the actual event.
Malcolm Daly, owner of Great Trango Holdings, which manufactures climbing equipment through Trango and PMI Dynamic and clothing through Stonewear Designs, also decided to contribute to the HERA Foundation because he was moved by the work founder and ovarian cancer survivor Sean Patrick has done raising awareness and funds within the climbing community.
“In honor of the HERA Foundation, PMI and Trango decided to create the Dry Spire climbing rope,” says Daly. Custom-made, this 10.2, 60-meter rope incorporates the HERA colors. “It’s a great rope, and it will attract a lot of attention at the crags,” adds Daly. “That attention translates directly to raised awareness for ovarian cancer.” The rope will be made available to participants of this summer’s Climb4Life event in Boulder for cost, shipping and handling. A portion of the proceeds for the rope as well as proceeds from a teal-colored tank top made by Stonewear Designs will be donated to the HERA Foundation. Daly also plans on attending the event as one of the numerous well-known climbers who instruct beginners during the climbing part of the event.
“I’m really looking forward to this summer’s Climb4Life event,” says Daly. “Not only will I be using my skills to give to a worthy cause, but these events are a huge amount of fun and inspirational for both volunteers and participants.”
As Mattner explains, “As healthy, young individuals, we cannot imagine what suffering from ovarian cancer is like. But the passion with which the survivors we have met through HERA live their lives is one of the most motivating things I have ever seen or been a part of.”
HERA is still accepting registrations for both participants and volunteers for this summer’s Climb4Life event, to be held June 15-17. To register as a participant or as a volunteer, please visit: www.climb4lifeco.kintera.org. To talk with the business involved, please contact Lizzy Scully, lizzy@girlsed.org or 703-887-9755, and she will connect you with GTHI or CAMP-USA.

Local Ovarian Cancer Survivor Beats the Odds and Fights for a Cause
(Boulder/Denver, CO)
April 10, 2007, Ovarian cancer survivor and rock climber Eden Ellman gets her employer and friends at the Boulder Rock Club involved with the Front Range’s first HERA Foundation Climb4Life event, a fun, climbing focused event that raises money and awareness for ovarian cancer. To be held June 15-17.
Ellman confronted a diagnosis of ovarian cancer four years ago and beat the odds by crushing it with surgery and intensive chemotherapy. In order to deal with the terrifying daily stress of the disease, including feelings of imminent death, she reached out to other cancer survivors. What she found changed her life. Through a climber friend, Ellman connected with the HERA Foundation and founder Sean Patrick, another ovarian cancer survivor. Patrick convinced her of the importance of raising awareness for this particular, more obscure kind of cancer.
“Ovarian cancer is now where breast cancer was 20 years ago,” Ellman says, quoting from a conversation she had with Patrick. “HERA not only is working to raise money, but also to raise awareness so that women are alerted to early symptoms and therefore to early diagnosis and treatment, which directly correlates to survival rates.”
Knowing this, it was easy for Ellman to spearhead efforts through the Boulder Rock Club to recruit volunteers, set up the relaxation room (massage and yoga classes are provided at all Climb4Life events), and lead efforts for the Survivors2Summit project, a part of Climb4Life that teaches cancer survivors climbing skills and gets them to the top of one of Boulder’s local rock formations.
“It gives me something to do in the fight against my cancer,” says Ellman of her involvement. “When I was diagnosed with cancer I tended to feel pretty powerless. In working for HERA I am taking an active role in my own future, as well as the future of other women, especially young girls like my nieces.”
Plus, adds Ellman, “Volunteering for a cause in general makes you feel good about yourself. It connects you to the human condition.”
Ellman, Patrick, and close to 200 volunteers and climbers will be participating in Boulder’s first HERA Climb4Life event this June 15-17. This event features plenty of food and drink, numerous fun activities and, of course, plenty of climbing. A variety of free, “learn to climb” clinics will be held in the area, including “Intro 2 Climbing” (contact your local REI and the Boulder Rock Club for more information). For more information on Survivors2Summit and the pre-event clinics, contact Eden Ellman at eden@ezlink.com. For more information on or to register as a participant or volunteer for this summer’s event, please visit www.climb4lifeco.kintera.org. There are a limited number of spaces for this event. So register now!
