Thank you Erica, it will be my honor to carry Melissa to the top of Devil’s Tower along with Sean Nolan, Steve Gleason, and all of our other friends & family who are suffering from this horrible disease. Thank you for trusting us with her name!

What an epic experience, and for such a great cause! Climbing Devils Tower definitely doesn’t look like an easy feat, but at least you won’t have to use those wooden ladders that they did back in the day!

Combining adventure with charity and being able to help a worthy cause is wonderful. I have been hearing more and more about ALS and agree that awareness is important.

It reminds me of the ice bucket challenge that rose the awareness of ALS as well as funding a few years ago.
Devil’s Tower looks fascinating to visit, not sure I would be able to say I would d be able to tackle it. Good luck!

I had actually seen Devils Tower from other travel blogs before knowing it was heavily featured in the film, so that was fun to see it pop up there!

As for the climb, I think this is such a cool idea and I love that you are getting into the spirit of giving back as part of your bucket list. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to climb Devils Tower so I’m looking forward to hearing how it goes! Best of luck, Eric!

Devils Tower looks like a full vertical climb, that’s pretty intense! But, I love how you’ve turned a crazy bucket list item into something so meaningful for so many worth recipients. Good luck guys, I hope it all goes well and I’m sure everything you raise will be very much appreciated!

Your goal of supporting ALS research is admirable and I hope your journey is both successful and profitable!

You write that sometimes you add items to your Bucket List impulsively. Yes, that sounds accurate. I just hope that risking your life for a good cause will be proven to be a good decision.

I am a nurse, so I have worked with individuals with this disease and it is heartbreaking. It is great to hear about Sean advocating for himself and others with ALS in hopes to find a cure. Climbing Devil’s Tower looks like quite the challenge, but I’m sure both the journey and reaching the endpoint will be a reward in itself, as well as contributing to a great cause!
