In 2023 seven year old Karina Eustace-Wallis was inspired by her love of Alberta’s wilderness to embark on a challenge and raise money for Alberta Wilderness Association. She climbed eight Alberta summits before she turned eight years old on September 8 and raised more than $10,000 for AWA. In her words, “I like to climb, hike, and ski. I love wild places because they are sacred. Because they are ancient. They make me feel special. I like spending time in wild places because they are life. I want to protect them because they are extraordinary.” You can read all about her eight summits here.

This year, she has an even bigger goal, to hike and climb 9,000m of elevation around Alberta this summer before she turns 9 on September 8 and to raise $9,000 for the AWA to “Keep the Wilderness Wildernessy”.
