Join us for an inspiring fundraiser celebrating the stories of people who get outdoors despite their disabilities to find purpose, healing and hope.
This uplifting event is proudly sponsored by Black Diamond and is a fundraiser for Mastering Mountains Charitable Trust. Doors open at 6:30 pm.
🌄 ABOUT THIS EVENT:
Mastering Mountains exists to see people with neurological conditions experience hope, connection and positive, life-long change through self-directed outdoor adventure. This film evening celebrates this kaupapa — each film a testament that an adventurous life remains within reach, no matter a person’s challenges.
🎞️ FILMS:
‣ Overcoming MS to Climb Mountains
Katy Glenie explores her renewed sense of identity as she recounts her climb up a 3,000m peak after being diagnosed with MS.
‣ This Way is Up
Andy McKenna is a Scottish mountain biker with MS, and he shares his love for getting outdoors and how lifestyle changes have positively impacted his life. 2018 Finalist at the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival.
‣ Soundscape
An award-winning film about Erik Weihenmayer, a blind climber who interprets the world through sound and touch—some of the most remarkable outdoor storytelling you'll ever see. Selected for multiple international mountain film festivals, including BANFF, Reel Rock, and VIMFF.
‣ Rise
An impactful short film about Delyth Owen, a rock climber living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), exploring how climbing reshapes her sense of self. Shortlisted for BMC TV Women In Adventure Film Competition 2022.
‣ A Dose of Nature
After a major snowboarding accident, Shell Robshaw-Bryan recounts her journey of recovery, using the outdoors to bring healing. This is a multi-award-winning film.
‣ Tread Setters
A group cycling mission featuring people of mixed abilities and disabilities—this film is a powerful testament to community and determination.
‣ Ascend
Vasu Sojitra, an amputee, sets out to ski Mt. Moran and, in the process, reshapes the conversation around disability in the outdoors. Official Vimeo Staff Pick.
🤝 WHAT ARE WE FUNDRAISING FOR?
Proceeds from the evening will enable Mastering Mountains to continue supporting people with MS and FND, empowering our programme participants to pursue meaningful outdoor goals. We work with individuals for 12-18 months, and it costs us roughly $12,000 per year to run our programmes. Sadly, despite the enormous, positive impact we have on people’s lives, we aren’t eligible for government funding. The purpose of our upcoming events is to raise funds for our next round of programme participants.
