Optivest Employees Climb for Freedom
August 2014
Leslie Calhoun, Lindsay Jennings and Kristy Allan represented the Optivest Foundation and The Freedom Climb with women from all over the globe in Colorado, July 12-18, 2014 to summit 7 mountains over 14,000 feet in elevation in 4 days. They were fortunate to have among their women-only group 7 from India, 13 from Canada, 1 from Africa, 1 from Moldova and 47 from the US. Climbing such peaks as Torreys/Grays Peak, Quandary Peak, Mt. Elbert and Lincoln/Democrat/Bross mountains, these women did so in a symbolic gesture of the climb for freedom for women and children around the world caught in human trafficking. As a part of Operation Mobilization, the Freedom Climb raises awareness of this global epidemic. Funds are raised to assist women and children through rescue, training centers, emotional and spiritual support.
