April 7, 2023Andy gave a powerful presentation on purpose, hope, and resilience. He was authentic, honest, and inspirational. He connected with a diverse audience of students, faculty, and staff and provided valuable insights on finding your path, overcoming obstacles, and staying optimistic. We would love to have Andy on campus again!

Colleen,
Wow, really appreciate such a wonderful response to my motivational talk. There's an old Buddhist saying, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." You had a lot of ready students for that message.
I, too, hope I can come back to your beautiful campus again.

When Andrew Buerger's sister was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, her courage and strength spurred Andy to turn pain into a passion. Andy founded Jodi's Climb for Hope, which raised more than $850,000 for research by leading mountain-climbing expeditions-an apt metaphor for the struggles women affected by breast cancer endure.
In 2008 tragedy struck again when Andy's wife Jen was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Jodi's Climb for Hope expanded the scope of its mission into multiple sclerosis research as well.
On an expedition in Iceland, Andy discovered something that he developed into B'More Organic, a protein drink that Inc. magazine ranked as the fifth fastest-growing natural brand.
