Climbing with Compassion
July 23-26, 2026
Mont Tremblant
Jason Chorches has been working for CCALS for five years and as a volunteer at David’s Swim for well over a decade. If you have had equipment delivered or shipped to you, attended one of our many events or visited the Retreat, chances are you have met him. This year he is going to a different mountain to once again do something special.
Jason will be participating in 29029 Everesting at Mont Tremblant, Quebec Canada July 23 - 26, 2026. The event is simple (in theory), hike up the mountain, take the gondola down and repeat…15 times within 36 hours to reach 29029 vertical feet, the equivalent of Mount Everest. This is not a race, but an endurance challenge, something that challenges participants both mentally and physically.
When asked why he would want to do something like this again, Jason replies with ‘because I can’. Since his first completion of 29029 Everesting in 2024 in Stratton, VT, Jason has embraced the physical and mental challenges required in endurance events, participating in a number of other similar events since. Jason truly enjoys challenging himself, but more importantly he decided to do this to raise awareness and money to support Compassionate Care ALS, an organization that is dedicated to supporting people and families living with ALS. Your gift will ensure that CCALS can continue to support over 1,500 families.
