On January 18, 2014, Heather Purcell Leja will leave for Argentina where she will attempt to climb Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas at 22,841 ft. She will be raising funds in memory of Catherine (Hudgins) Tuck, her friend and classmate at The Hockaday School in Dallas, Class of ’80. Heather is a recent survivor of anal cancer and she promised herself that she would make this climb if she survived healthy and whole. Heather sees the climb as an opportunity to demonstrate her return to an active lifestyle while raising money to help others with cancer.
