Resources for friends of Terry
I'm really sorry that this is so tardy. Last week, I was asked if I knew where mountain_hiker would donate. I have some links now, and will share them below.
I don't plan to use an lj-cut, so I apologize if this entry is a little long.
First, I'm not sure how many knew that he had a public blog devoted to his mountaineering adventures. It's definitely worth a look, loaded with tips and breath taking photographs from his adventures. Sadly, his last entry was about his friend Steve's death. He posted this letter on his LJ too, but this event is where things took a turn for the worse for him. As of this post, LJ support has not unlocked a post meant to be shared with his friends. When it is unlocked, I will link to it here.
Below are sites devoted to land preservation in Colorado. These sites do accept donations, and I think he may have felt pretty strongly for them.
In no particular order, they are:
San Juan Citizens Alliance
The Trust for Land Restoration, an organization helping to restore and conserve lands that have been degraded by mining.
The Colorado Trail, working to keep hiking trails properly maintained.
Friends of Terry know he spoke a lot about hiking to Barr Camp to bring supplies. They have a donation page as well.
Terry has also mentioned Red Cross from time to time as a good place to donate.
Terry's father posted information on Terry's memorial page, including a program. It reads: To register to become a donor in memory of Terry Lee Mathews, please visit Donate Life Colorado.
If you would like to sign Terry's memorial guest book, you may do so here. This page will be available until August 16th. Terry's father also published the following obituary on July 17th.
More information about Terry's memorial can be found here.
oddharmonic, has made arrangements with Mark Hayes Photography to take photographs of the memorial service for those unable to attend. She is paying for this, but if you wish to help, please contact her privately.
ETA: Terry's friend Ryan wrote the following: State of Euphoria with Terry Mathews
I will add more if additional information comes my way.
