A Fathers Mission: Len Forkas Summits Mt. Everest, Completing the Seven Summits to Support Children Battling Cancer
Summary
When his son Matt was diagnosed with leukemia in 2002, Forkas watched his child not only battle cancer but also the loneliness of being isolated from school and friends. Each leg of Forkas climb honored a Hopecam child—from Ari in Texas who dreams of being a rocket engineer, to Addie in Virginia who beams with joy during Zoom calls with classmates. Help Us Reach the Real Summit Forkas goal is to raise $1 million, enough to connect 5,500 more children with their classrooms and friends during the most isolating time in their lives. Sponsorship opportunities are available at multiple levels, with recognition across digital channels, annual reports, and Hopecams events. To make these connections, we provide tablets, laptops, WIFI access, and Hopecam resources at no cost to families.
