This fall, I’ll be stepping back onto the trail to tackle 20 miles of rugged terrain and 7,000 feet of elevation in the North Cascades. This trek is part of the 5th Annual Timmerman Traverse to benefit Life Science Cares. I’ve committed to raising at least $35,000 as part of a broader team effort to raise $1 million to fight poverty. I'm asking for your help with sincere hope the team and I will significantly exceed these goals.

I’ve dedicated 20 years to drug development because I believe deeply in the power of science to improve lives. But humanity faces many challenges that cannot be addressed with hard science; sometimes compassion and generosity are required. That’s why I'm hiking for Life Science Cares. Their work tackles poverty at the roots by supporting urgent needs like food and housing, while also investing in long-term impact through education, job training, and mentorship.

This cause is personal to me. As a kid, I lived on a Native American Indian reservation in rural New Mexico. This experience gave me a formative and eye-opening perspective on privilege and inequality. It shaped my career and my values: I work hard not only to make the most of the opportunities available to me, but also to make new opportunities available for those less fortunate.

Though I’m a seasoned hiker, this traverse presents a significant challenge. Like many, my time outdoors has been limited in recent years due to COVID, injuries, and becoming a parent. So, I'll put in this effort, and I request that you please consider making a donation for your part. Every dollar helps us take one more step toward building a more equitable world!
