This link should take you to the 'sponsor a climber' page, where you can search my name (alison syer) and you should be able to find it; or the name of any other climber you know and choose to sponsor. https://wwfcentral.ca/NetCommunity/SSLPage.aspx? & pid=232 & srcid=232 & tab=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
