Going the Distance for a Cause: Ryan Watterson’s 24-Hour Climb of Mount Peak

At Gamblin Motors, we’re fortunate to be surrounded by customers and community members who inspire us—and this week, we’re proud to spotlight one of them: Ryan Watterson.

Ryan recently completed his annual 24-hour climb of Mount Peak, an incredible endurance challenge that pushed him to take over 122,000 steps and conquer more than 21,000 feet of elevation gain—all in a single day.

But Ryan didn’t do it just for the personal challenge. He climbed with purpose—to raise awareness and support for the Foundation for Grieving Children, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping young people and their families cope with the devastating loss of a loved one.

This year’s climb, known as “Peak 2025,” was Ryan’s way of turning personal grit into a powerful gesture of compassion and advocacy.

If you’d like to support the cause and honor Ryan’s incredible effort, donations can be made at:

Be sure to include “Peak 2025” in the donation notes to directly recognize Ryan’s climb.

At Gamblin Motors, we’re more than a dealership—we’re part of a community. And we couldn’t be prouder to recognize people like Ryan, who go the extra mile (literally!) to uplift others and make a difference.

Way to go, Ryan. You inspire us all.
