Jason Taylor can see Mount Rainer from his Bainbridge, WA home. He can see it also from his office, or even when he is out for his daily jog.

From Thursday, July 19th to Friday, July 20th, Taylor will climb Mount Rainer to raise funds for the American Lung Association. Monies raised will benefit the Climb for Clean Air program. The climb raises money to fight lunch cancer and to ensure clean air for everyone to breathe, and also raises money for awareness for lung cancer. Taylor has raised $11,000 for the American Lung Association. He raised those funds in just three months.

Taylor will be part of a group of 18, led by Lou Whitaker. Whitaker is a world-famous mountain climber and brings along with him several guides from Rainier Mountaineering, Inc.

Actors from the long running HBO series “The Sopranos” will in attendance and signing autographs at a charity walk on May 19 in Seaside Heights, NJ.
