Hey Everyone,
I am Kevin Wheeler, and I am embarking on a heartbreaking journey filled with memories of my dear friend and colleague, Scott Kingslien. Scott and I shared a bond that transcended words, a bond built on shared values and a deep desire to make the world a better place. In 2013, we set out on a mission to climb Mt. Whitney, driven by our passion to raise funds for those in need of clean water. Scott's dedication to philanthropy was unmatched, shining a light on his unwavering commitment to humanity. Our friendship, forged in selflessness, echoes in my soul to this day.
On October 24th, a date etched with the essence of our friendship, I plan to ascend Mt. Whitney once more. This time, it will be a solemn journey as I scatter some of Scott's ashes at the summit, allowing him to conquer the peak he once strived for. His legacy will blend with the mountain's embrace, a poignant tribute to a remarkable soul lost too soon.
Scott's compassionate spirit extended beyond humans; he was a champion for animal welfare, rescuing countless abused creatures and becoming a beacon of hope for the voiceless. In honor of his love for our furry friends, I aim to raise awareness and funds for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (A.S.P.C.A.), continuing his legacy of compassion and kindness.
As I embark on this emotional climb, I carry Scott's memory in my heart, a guiding light in the darkness of loss. Your support and contributions will not only honor Scott's legacy but also continue his mission of making the world a better place for all beings. Join me in honoring Scott's memory and spreading his message of love and kindness to those in need.
Thank you for being a part of this journey and for helping me keep Scott's spirit alive through our shared efforts to make a difference in the world.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Kevin Wheeler
