Today, we’re excited to share the empowering journey of Julie McKelvey. Julie caught the mountaineering bug and found herself transformed while summitting Mt. Fuji, sparking a passion that led her to conquer the Seven Summits, including Mt. Everest. But her adventures aren’t just about reaching new heights; through her initiative, Summit for Sound, she’s raised over a quarter million dollars for the Miracle Ear Foundation, helping countless individuals access vital hearing aids. Julie's story is a powerful testament to resilience, purpose, and the belief that every summit—whether a mountain or a personal challenge—is a victory worth celebrating.
