"There was a point when I really was concerned because I fell before I started up the mountain," Lorimor told KNXV."I had great pain in my side, and I couldn't take deep breaths. I was afraid if I couldn't keep oxygenated enough, I couldn't go."Lorimor, a former university instructor, founded the organization Creating Exciting Futures in 2004 to support under-served children.
"If I combine my love of climbing mountains with my passion for helping kids, what could be better?" she's quoted as saying on the site.
