Event Description

When Andrew Buerger's sister was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, her courage and strength spurred Andy to turn pain into a passion. Andy founded Jodi's Climb for Hope, which raised more than $850,000 for research by leading mountain-climbing expeditions-an apt metaphor for the struggles women affected by breast cancer endure.

In 2008 tragedy struck again when Andy's wife Jen was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Jodi's Climb for Hope expanded the scope of its mission into multiple sclerosis research as well.

On an expedition in Iceland, Andy discovered something that he developed into B'More Organic, a protein drink that Inc. magazine ranked as the fifth fastest-growing natural brand.

With engaging mountaineering, business, and personal stories, Andy portrays the guiding principles that have helped him navigate the peaks and valleys of his life.

About the Presenter

Andrew is an award-winning entrepreneur of for-profit and non-profit organizations. One venture, B’more Organic, was the #5 on Inc’s Fastest Growing natural/organic brands in 2017. He is the Founder of Jodi’s Climb for Hope which has raised $850,000 for MS and breast cancer research by getting over 250 climbers safely to the summits on four continents. He is currently the Director of Rare Earth Adventures, an expedition guiding company based in Portland, OR. And, the Director of Mission for RIND Snacks. His book, “Carrying a Flag From Pain to Passion” was a #1 Hot New Release on Amazon’s list of Mountain Climbing books.
