This Wednesday, Seahawks CEO and friend of Road Tod Leiweke, along with Jim Mora, Roger Goodell, Ed Visteurs, Peter Whitaker, and others reached the summit of Mount Rainier.  The group reached the summit in an effort to raise money for United Way of King County.  Jerry Brewer of the Seattle Times gave a little insight as to how the group formed:

“Goodell is here because Leiweke invited him during a league meeting last December. Goodell was hustling toward a room to start the meeting when the Seahawks’ CEO stopped him and said, ‘I’ve got a challenge for you.’

‘What is it?’ Goodell wondered.

‘I want you to climb Mount Rainier with us,’ Leiweke said.

Goodell agreed. Later, on his way home, he started to realize what he had agreed to do.

‘I was thinking, “Oh my. What did I just do?” ‘ The Commish said, laughing. ‘I really didn’t know what it entailed, frankly.’

The climbers are lucky to have two of the best mountaineers alive as their guides – the legendary Ed Viesturs and Peter Whittaker – but it still won’t be easy.”
