ASU PhD student and one of the best rock climbers of the Phoenix valley, Christa Brelsford, left for Haiti 11 days prior to 7.0 earthquake on January 12, 2010. She and her brother were volunteering for a adult literacy center and staying with friends near Port-au-Prince. The day of the quake, she found herself trapped in a building stairwell after tripping while trying to escape from the crumbling building. More than an hour later, Christa was saved from the rubble and sought immediate medical attention for her very injured leg. She then journeyed three kilometers on a dirt road via motorcycle to a US Peacekeeping Mission, with the support of an Alaskan senators office who made phone calls to the UN for her rescue. Within 36 hours, Christa was flown on to a hospital in Miami where she was treated and had 4 surgeries in total, including the amputation of her right foot, ankle, and part of her shin. Christa captured the world’s attention by her grace, serenity, and calmness in a time of pandemonium and chaos, and says, “I’m just happy to be alive.”
Keep Christa Climbing was founded to raise awareness and donations for Christa’s cause. As a little girl, Christa found the most enjoyment in rock climbing, and since the age of 10, she has been on some the most remarkable climbs to date.
On Thursday, February 4th, from 4pm-7pm Yogurtini will have FREE FROZEN YOGURT and will collect donations for the Keep Christa Climbing cause to assist in offsetting costs for medical bills, physical therapy, and prosthetic needs. Your support will lift Christa’s spirits and allow her to begin climbing sooner.
