Welcome to the 2008 Climb for Cancer Care blog! Over the next 4 months, you will get an insider's perspective on the workings of this large undertaking. Climb for Cancer Care is fully backed by the Rockin' Rod Foundation, which was established in March 2005 after the passing of our namesake, "Rockin" Rodney Scribner. The goal of Climb for Cancer Care is to raise at least $10,000 to donate to the Marshall L. and Susan Gibson Pavilion at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine. All proceeds of our climb directly benefit patients and families during their stay at Gibson.
For 2008, the numbers have greatly increased! Climb for Cancer Care is now 8 climbers strong! This year's team includes:
Pat Connolly Westbrook, ME
Matt Moon Portland, ME
Adam Gagne South Portland, ME
Marco Aliberti Kingfield, ME
Chris Mahaney Bath, ME
Aaron Tardiff Falmouth, ME
Troy Goddu North Yarmouth, ME
Rich Young Portland, ME
With our eyes set upon the summit of Mt. Rainier, the real challenge lies in front of us with a fundraising goal of at least $10,000. We are committed to reaching, if not surpassing this goal to provide patients and families at the Gibson Pavilion with a comfortable stay during their stay.

I knew Rodney throughout my childhood into my teenage years. What a FANTASTIC baseball player Rodney was having started his own league in the Bayside area of Portland. He was also a very good boxer having his own ring at his home in Gorham. But most of all Rodney was a fun loving GREAT person. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Rest in Peace my friend...Bill Kenny.
