Meet the people behind the climb.

Ryan Kelley started climbing mountains in 2015 to raise money and awareness for families facing childhood cancer. That challenge became the foundation’s operating model: take on difficult goals to fund practical care for families in crisis.

Tracy has been deeply involved with Climb for the Kids from the beginning and helps keep the organization operationally disciplined as it grows.

Poko is a runner and endurance athlete whose connection to the mission makes him a steady advocate for the foundation’s event and community work.

Lance supports the foundation through event participation, outreach, and the kind of practical volunteer energy that keeps annual campaigns moving.

Taylor brings a strong connection to the fundraising mission and helps maintain momentum around campaigns, participation, and donor awareness.

Jamie is part of the broader support system behind the foundation’s growth, helping bridge outdoor challenge, fundraising, and community impact.
