Dora Vanourek will be leaving her home in Coquitlam, B.C., for three weeks in June to climb Denali.

She hopes to raise a dollar for every metre Denali is tall, so $6,194, in support of the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Vanourek has climbed three of the world’s tallest mountains: Kilimanjaro in Africa, in 2011; Aconcagua in Argentina, in 2013; and Mount Elbrus in Russia, in 2014.
