I was unable to post anything ( cell service has been horrible but today we came for a celebratory hike down the valley and I have full bars) and so today I have to share this. I am so happy to get this just now....i am emotional... and the legend #verntejas handed it to me. I am coming home, Jesus willing! Thank you to my husband Steve, my daughters Nicole and Patricia, and my grandchildren Ethan and Julia for supporting me! Love you and miss you! Ema/Mom/Vovo! @peaksforchange @alpineascents #70summits #endstigma #mountaneering #alpinista #leadingchange #thefutureusstigmafree #mentalhealth #camh #mountaineer #elbrus (at Elbrus, Kabardino-Balkariya, Russia)

We rode the tram up to the base of our destination , realized our toilet hang in the air, but we had #elbrus on our sight. Then we took day acclimatization hikes up the mountain, and Carole and Vern Tejas ensured we knew how to self arrest, and we practiced crevasse rescue. They also thought us (at least me) how to effectively pressure breath. On #summit day we took one step at a time. More pics to come... we had a professional photographer with us.... I need to download them when I get home! @alpineascents @peaksforchange @verntejas #70summits #endstigma #peaksforchange #thefutureusstigmafree #peaksforchangefoundation #alpinista #mentalhealth #leadingchange #7summitsformentalhealth #camh (at Mount Elbrus)

As my countdown has started before I leave to Russia on Friday to climb #elbrus with @alpineascents, I extended my weekend a couple of days at our home @fridayharbourliving ... well I did log into the office all day remotely. But being up here, let’s me relax a little and as the day comes to an end, I grabbed my copy of #canadianrunning magazine, the April & March issue... yes I hadn’t had time to read it and yes running and climbing are relaxing! The training for each activity keep me focused and motivated. As I browse through the magazine I saw the ad for the 10th anniversary for #torontowomensrun series and I realized this was the first race that I ever ran. A 5km. I didn’t even like running and now I think it’s great and I aspire to run the #bostonmarathon and of course the #newyorkmarathon. Just like wine! I never liked wine! But there is lots of nice wines to be savoured and a glass looks great by the dock. But back to running... a nice practice run on August 25 and/or October 13 sounds nice, in preparation for #stwm on October 27. There is a #firefighters water station!!!! Do you need an excuse? Sign up to run at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, the charity challenge, then choose @peaksforchange as your charity, and let’s start training! Daisy is in and the duck agrees! #leadingchange #runningmotivation #mentalhealth #climbing /#mountaneering -#ultramarathon #physicalfitness #relaxing #thefutureusstigmafree #runformentalhealth #mountaineering #summits #scotiabank #runcrs #lifeisworthliving (at Friday Harbour Resort on Lake Simcoe)

I am in Tersol, Russia . The whole team went on an acclimatization hike up to about 10,76p feet. The sky cleared enough for us to look at Mt Elbrus. #thefutureusstigmafree @peaksforchange #mentalhealth #7summitsformentalhealth #camh #peaksforchange #donate #leadingchange #endstigma
