Broomfield Moms Join International Expedition to Fight Human Trafficking

Broomfield residents Stephanie Peller and Tais Field will embark on their first Mountain climb when
they join 15 other women from around the world to scale Mt. Kilimanjaro in February

BROOMFIELD, Colo., December 2, 2010 – On February 17, 2011, Broomfield residents Stephanie Peller and Tais Field
will begin their ascent of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. Peller and Field will join 15 other women from around the world who
are part of Climb4Freedom, a group that is raising awareness and funds to fight human trafficking.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is an extraordinary feat. Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest freestanding mountain in the
world, rising to a height of 19,340 feet. The members of Climb4Freedom are going to have to survive plummeting
temperatures, snow, rain and pain.  The climb will take place over 7 days – and will literally take their breath away.

The expedition will be especially challenging for Peller and Field, both of whom are attempting their first mountain
climb. Peller, 43, is married and the mother of three children. A former member of the professional Women’s Sand
Volleyball Association, she has taken on many athletic endeavors including running two marathons and completing a 100
mile bike ride. She is excited to take on what is most likely her greatest personal challenge as an athlete.

“This climb offers me a personal challenge, but it goes far beyond that. I’m going to have the opportunity to meet many
extraordinary, accomplished women from different cultures and countries- all of us different on the surface but deeply
connected by similar issues,” said Peller.

Field, 34, is married and has a daughter, and recently completed her first marathon. She decided to join the
Climb4Freedom team not only to fight the injustice of human trafficking, but also to provide inspiration to her daughter.

“We need to lead by example and make a positive difference so that we can help our own children make a positive
difference in the world,” said Field. “I challenge every mother to be a real-life super hero to their children. Small
actions make tremendous impacts that influence your little warriors to grow up and affect the lives of millions through
their own dreams!”

Climb4Freedom aims to raise a significant amount of awareness and funds to help combat the atrocities of human
trafficking, which has become one of the most pervasive organized crime activities in the world. According to UNICEF,
human trafficking is a global problem affecting huge numbers of women, men and children. Some estimates have as
many as 1.39 million victims being trafficked every year for the purposes of cheap labor, sexual exploitation and organ
harvesting. Children and their families are often unaware of the dangers of trafficking, and are tricked into believing that
better employment and lives lie in other countries.

Climb 4 Freedom is a an ambitious expedition to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro by a group of ordinary women
attempting to doing an extraordinary thing to stand together IN UNITY against Human Trafficking. To learn more, go to
