Published Quarterly
Not Even Major Forest Fires Can Hold TSNW Climbers Back!
It was a pleas-ure to train with and climb with this group of amazing women.”
“We battled through some extraordinary circumstances together and have forged great friend-ships!”
- Coach Paula
Tomlinson Fifteen TSNW members trained for 5 months to climb Mount St. Helens in September. And it just so happened that the day they were scheduled to climb (Sept. 6) the air was thick with smoke from surrounding forest fires.
Nearly the entire group set out in the wee hours of the morning on Septem-ber 6 – still in the dark – to climb Mount St. Helens as part of a fundraising effort for TSNW. Each climber received support and training from TSNW, spe-cifically Climb Leader Extraordinaire Paula Tomlinson, and in exchange each worked to raise $500 for the organization.

TSNW Guiding Principles: Inclusion – we serve all women, without regard to race, age, color, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, physical or mental disability, or reli-gion, with any type of cancer diagno-sis, at any fitness and skill level. Quality – Program delivery is mindful of the physical and emotional sensitiv-ities surrounding cancer. Access - Our programs are free of charge to TSNW Members and offered within the Puget Sound Region. Education - We continually share with our communi-ty, through a varie-ty of methods, im-portant and emerging infor-mation related to cancer survivor-ship.
At the end of the day nearly all the climbers made it at least to the boulder fields near the top of the mountain and 5 members summited all the way to the top. And along the way the group as a whole raised $11,200 for TSNW!
The climbing team consisted of Paula Tomlinson at the helm.
And intrepid climbers included Maggie Brower, Mary Carney, Therese Chambers, Elaine Chin, Laurie Cogan, Kelly Griffin, Dora Lipper, Linda Owen, Cathy Spurgeon, and Pam Stoeffler. The 5 members who made it to the top were Carol Shafer, Bobby Jo Samuelson, Kelly Griffin, Elena Wood, and Patty Livingston.
“I had never even thought about climbing Mt. St. Helens but with the support and encouragement of my TSNW hiking friends, I not only climbed it, in less than optimal conditions, I summited!” TSNW Member Carol Shafer said. “The climb left me with a belief in my strength, the ability to conquer my fear, my heart full of love and joy, all while being touched by awe and reverence for our precious Earth.”
Special thanks to Paula Tomlinson for her amazing leadership oversee-ing this entire climb effort. And TSNW wants to thank each and every climber for your wonderful fundraising efforts. Because of each of you we will be able to expand and improve TSNW’s Active Women/Healthy Women program!

You Made It happen Thank you to all who joined us at the Meydenbauer Center on Saturday for a fun-filled evening of celebration, prohibition style.

Special thanks to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance for donating the photo booth. We hope you all took a moment to stop by and get your picture taken. We couldn't have done it without you. Thanks to Ambassador Wines of Washington and Ninkasi Brewing for providing the night's spirits, to Savoy Dance Troupe for the entertain-ment and to Tim Leahy, our fabulous auctioneer, for keeping the night festive and on track. And a heartfelt thank you to Xola for infusing the evening with warmth, hope and song. Thank you to all our amazing volunteers, the heroes of the evening, who donated hours upon hours to make this gala a success. We appreciate you!
Our sincere gratitude goes out to board member, Jenn Nudelman, who stepped in-to the position of gala chair and did a knock out job. Thank you Jenn for your vision, creativity and dedication!!!
