Imagine climbing the highest peak on each continent.
How about circumnavigating the world in 35 days in a single-engine plane.
Or rowing across the Atlantic.
Or motorcycling through the Mojave Desert?
Now imagine doing it in one year.
We will tell you about Dawson’s Peak – with the creator – and his Hollywood partner – who are making these transformational journeys a big charity fundraiser.
And talk about jet setting the world.
I met Matt Dawson and Jay Jablonski at a charity golf event for Hope for the Warriors – a charity that helps war vets get back into life.
And when they told me about Dawson’s Peak project, I said we need to talk.
So here they are.
Matt Dawson – who goes by Dawson -- is a successful investment banker who changed his unfulfilled life by finding a purpose – not just to navigate the world, but to provide purpose for others.
And Jay Jablonski is an actor/producer. You know him from films such as Take Me Home Tonight, the Big Short, and my favorite Everyone Wants To Be Italian. He is the Director of Operations for Dawson’s Peak.
Along with vets and some celebrities, Dawson will climb seven of the highest peaks on each continent, circumnavigate the world in a single engine plane, cross the Mojave on motorcycle, and row across the Atlantic.
Their website is www.dawsonspeak.com
The proceeds go to Hope for The Warriors and The Gary Sinise Foundation
