HERA

About Our Events

HERA events are fun, a place to learn new skills and challenge yourself.

A place to turn your passion into action to find a cure for ovarian cancer. Women, men, children and families - all abilities, all ages, all levels- are welcome!

The original Climb for Life event was conceived in 2001, while HERA Founder, Sean Patrick was recovering from her seventh ovarian cancer surgery. She felt a rock climbing event would put a different face on ovarian cancer and get people involved in the cause. Realizing The Climb for Life would raise awareness in women who are healthy and active, Patrick saw greater potential: the event would enable women to be introduced to the sport of climbing, and it's physical and mental benefits.

HERA events are evolving to include climbing, running, hiking, biking, as well as other activities.
