Cold Hard Truth

Our Founder, Len Forkas, recently published the book "Cold Hard Truth," about his life changing expedition to climb Mount Vinson, Antarctica. Every day climbing was specifically dedicated to Hopecam child. As Len says in his book, "The struggles I face on the mountain were nothing compared to their everyday ordeals."

In Cold Hard Truth, Len Forkas takes us on his journey to the bottom of the world to climb the unforgiving 16,050-foot mountain. Those who have accomplished this goal comprise an elite group, numbering only about 1,200 since the first expedition in 1966—far fewer than the more famous Mount Everest.

Your purchase of this book supports Hopecam in its mission and is greatly appreciated. Click the following link to purchase the book on Amazon at “Cold Hard Truth”.

Hopecam's Fall Dinner - POSTPONED

After speaking with our board and community we have decided to postpone Hopecam’s Fall Dinner at this time. Please know how deeply we regret not being able to gather in person and we hope to be able to get together soon.

In place of our Fall Dinner we will be holding a virtual Halloween 5K fundraiser so families and friends across the country can gather together safely and enjoy a fun way to raise money for so many children with cancer.
