Team DFL Story

On December 7, Team DFL will race (ok, “race”) up 3,268 snowy vertical feet to the summit of Aspen Mountain under the cover of night to honor our brother, Ed Walters. Please help us meet our goal of being first in fundraising, last in racing.

 

We lost Ed suddenly on September 28, 2019. He was 47 and father to 3 boys – a fierce mountain biker, roller hockey enthusiast, autocross expert and our remote IT support. His story didn’t end there, however, because we learned Ed was an organ donor. Amid our grief, we found some comfort knowing his gift meant that other families got the news they had been waiting for – the joy of an extended life, or an improved quality of life.

 

This is our third Summit for Life. We race to honor Ed, but also to help shorten wait times for those waiting for a lifesaving organ or tissue donation. Our mission is to win the fundraising race, if not the actual race. We are Team DFL (dead effing last) for two reasons – it was the name of Ed’s roller hockey team, and also, we will be so slow. Did we mention it was 3,268? STARTING at 8000 feet? At night? In the snow? And half of us come from sea level the day before?

 

This year, Team DFL includes sisters Denise (Walters) Zubrod and Lara (Walters) Hoffmans. We are joined by our honorary sister Laura Hoffman. We are joined in spirt by our sister-in-law Tara Walters.  Basal local Alyson Gish will also be joining the team this year.

 

Please help us reach our goal by donating to this worthy cause and help us get up that mountain!
