'I don’t know where I’d be without my leg' – Paracyclist Meg Fisher to tackle Ecuador’s Highest Peak, 20,549ft Chimborazo, to help provide life-changing prosthetics for amputees

Megan Fisher.

This weekend, Paracyclist Dr. Meg Fisher and two fellow adaptive athletes will embark on a mission to reach new heights: climbing Ecuador’s three highest peaks—Cayambe, Chimborazo, and Cotopaxi. Their goal? To show that there are no limits to their abilities and to raise critical funds for the Range of Motion Project (ROMP), which provides prosthetics to underserved communities worldwide.

The expedition, which aims to raise enough money to provide prosthetics to 250 people, is part of the 10th annual Climbing for ROMP campaign. Fisher, an elite para-cyclist and retired Paralympian, is joined by Kyle Stepp, an elite para-triathlete, and Zachary Friedley, a para runner, as they take on the physical and mental challenge of scaling heights up to 20,549 feet.
