Jignesh Kacharia

I’m Jignesh Kacharia from Redmond WA. Ever since I moved to the Puget Sound in 2003 and saw Mt. Rainier, Climbing Mt. Rainier has been on my bucket list.. Every time I thought about committing for this adventure, I always could come up with an excuse to postpone it to a later year

Of course, at that point I did not believe it was achievable. I was encouraged by a few friends who had trained in the past and had accomplished this great feat and encouraged me to train for this as well.

Hence this year I decided to take the plunge and commit myself to summit Mt Rainier and  signed up for “Mt. Rainier Charity Climb 2017” with Asha along with 20 hikers to support “Asha for Education” to raise money for underprivileged children and women in India.

As part of the required training, I’ve already been doing the following climbs this winter/spring with fellow climbers: Tiger Mountain; Mt. Si; Lake Tenerife/Kamikaze Falls, Cable line, Mailbox peak.

I also plan to climb Saint Helen (may), Mt. Colcuck Peak (may), Mt. Baker (June) and finally, Mt. Rainier (July)

My goal is to raise $750 on top of my personal contributions to Asha during my training and climb to Mt Rainier.
