ZERO Peaks Challenge: Teedra Bernard

Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's tallest mountain (~19k ft), located in Tanzania.

“Sometimes, our greatest mountains aren't the ones we climb, but the battles we fight."

My hero has beaten prostate cancer twice. Now, it's my turn to be his hero.

I'm taking on the ZERO Peaks Challenge, scaling Mount Kilimanjaro this upcoming September to raise awareness and crucial support for prostate cancer patients. Did you know it's the 2nd most common cancer in men?

This isn't just a climb; it's a tribute to my dad's courage and a step towards bringing awareness to all impacted, and to prevent men from dying from prostate cancer.

This is a bold, audacious goal - Why Kilimanjaro? Because the mountain is tough, but not as tough as the men fighting this disease every day. Speaking of tough - I am resilient and capable of achieving anything I set my mind to.

My goal? To raise $15,000 for ZERO Prostate Cancer. Every dollar brings us closer to better treatments and more survivors - Let's show the strength of our community and the power of our support. For my dad, for your loved ones, for every man facing this battle – let's make this climb count.

Will you join my climb from afar? Your support can move mountains, and here is how you can all help:

With Love,

Tee
