Expedition Inspiration is fighting to find a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime so that we can save our daughters, mothers, brothers, sisters and all those we love from the disease. During her isolation, she dreamed of combining her two passions: mountain climbing and finding a cure for breast cancer. She imagined a team of breast cancer survivors and their supporters overcoming the challenges

of mountain climbing together to bring awareness and financial support to finding a cure for breast cancer. It would be a visible tribute to the courage of breast cancer survivors everywhere. To Laura, there was no more appropriate parallel between summiting one of the world's tallest peaks and fighting breast cancer. After recovery, Laura's dreams turned to action as she founded Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research in 1995 with Peter Whittaker. Laura set out to climb Argentina's Mt. Aconcagua is the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere. In February 1995, Laura and Peter Whittaker, premier international mountain guide and founder of Summits Adventure Travel, led a team of 17 breast cancer survivors to Aconcagua's summit. They raised awareness, research funds and hope for the breast cancer cause. From this initial effort, Expedition Inspiration has continued its mission to find breast cancer cures in our lifetime with hikes, climbs, an Annual Symposium, Young Investigator Awards and other fundraising events.

Monday reminder: Breast cancer may change the calendar, the routine, the body, and the plans… but it does not get to define the spirit.

Some Mondays are for conquering mountains. Some Mondays are simply for getting out of bed, showing up to treatment, taking the meds, making the appointment, or choosing hope again.

And honestly? That still counts as strength.

A few scrapbook moments from the trail🤍

Fresh air, sore legs, good conversations, and the kind of sisterhood that shows up no matter what.

And if cancer thought it picked an easy target with these ladies, it seriously chose the wrong people. 🥾💪

From the early climbs to the unforgettable views, this trip was filled with strength, encouragement, and purpose. Every step taken together reminds us why we continue to climb: to support those impacted by breast cancer and to keep pushing toward a cure.

So grateful for this incredible community and everyone who made this expedition so meaningful. More memories to come ✨

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Expedition Inspiration.

Today we celebrate the women who give, nurture, lead, sacrifice, and love in ways that often go unseen but are deeply felt in every life they touch. Whether you are a mother, a grandmother, a mentor, or someone who has stepped into that role with grace and strength, we honor you today.

We see the early mornings, the late nights, the prayers whispered over your families, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up. Your impact reaches further than you know and shapes generations in ways that cannot always be measured but are always remembered.

To every mother in our community, thank you. You are valued, you are appreciated, and today we celebrate you.

Happy Mother’s Day from Expedition Inspiration.

Stronger together on every trail, every climb, every step of the journey. 💗

Expedition Inspiration is about sisterhood in its truest form: pushing each other higher, catching one another when we slip, and never facing the hardest battles alone. From mountain peaks to the fight against breast cancer, we rise together.

For every woman climbing her own mountain...and every sister right beside her...this is for you. 🎗️
