The 29029 Podcast Episode 031 - Climbing for a Cause | Dayna Boshard
Beginning in 2017, we have had a front-row seat to 1000s of individuals who have found their way to their own personal Everests while climbing 29029. We can share story after story of participants who found a bigger and better version of themselves in 20 weeks of training and over those 36 hours struggling up the slopes of a mountain. It’s inspiring to see people literally transform before your eyes into more than they ever thought they could be.
Over the past few seasons we’ve seen the reasons why people choose to climb, broaden and expand. While self-mastery is still a big motivator to take on the challenge of climbing 29,029ft, participants are showing up for far greater reasons than just themselves. We’ve seen people raise 100s of thousands of dollars for charitable foundations and personal causes. The impact of their 29029 experience rippling throughout their communities and the world.
Participants are using their own physical and mental strength not just to change themselves but to motivate all of us to step up to the challenge of creating a better world.
Dayna Boshard came to the mountain from a small town in Southern Utah with a big purpose. Her goal was to help children and families who lived, literally, in the shadow of Mt. Everest. Her climb would benefit their daily climb…. She had seen the faces of the Nepalese children struggling for basic skills and opportunity. They hadn’t signed up for the mountain they were asked to climb every day of their lives. But Dayna did and she was able to use 29029 to build something life-changing in a country she’s never stopped foot in.
