Climbing for Tommy

14,516 feet of hope. This September, firefighter Mike DuBois will be competing in the 2025 Half Everest Race but he won’t be climbing for himself. He’ll be climbing for Tommy - a joyful, determined five-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy.

While Mike’s climb will take place over a single day, Tommy and his family are facing a lifelong mountain. From medical appointments to adaptive equipment, therapy, and the unknown still ahead, their journey is constant.

Mike is climbing to raise funds to go 100% directly towards Tommy’s future care. If you’d like to make a direct impact in helping him access the resources he needs, please follow the link below.

Project Limitless

Project Limitless is a nonprofit that aims to provide adults with special needs/different abilities the experiences, funding and medical resources they need to thrive as members of our community. The foundation was formed as the result of frustration with the barriers and expenses those with physical impairments and special needs encounter just in the pursuit of living life. We believe that everyone should be able to afford the tools they need to thrive, and strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone has a place to go to flourish, as well as the financial support to obtain the therapies, care and tools they need.

Founders Kelsey Bellanca and Jenny LeChevallier competed in The Half Everest 2024 and now in 2025, founder Kaitlyn Yonke plans to join them with a go at The Full Everest. They will be competing to fundraise for Project Limitless and their newly formed guide program, which pairs Title III athletes with the guides they need to compete in athletic events.
