Introducing Cole Culver: A Remarkable Young Man

INTRODUCING COLE CULVER

I love elephants! When my dad asked me "Cole, If you could help with something in the world what would you help with?" I said "Elephants!" Here we are 5 years , 700 miles and  just about $8000 raised later for Elephants. I have help from my team- my Dad- Mike, my stepmom Emily, my sister Jocelyn, my Brother Dylan,my cousin Sam, my Gramma my para Rosanne (who you can blame for any mistakes on this web page-first time making one) and all my other family for supporting me.

I hope you love elephants too, or at least believe they have the right to live in harmony with humans like Trunks & Leaves do!

WALK HIGHLIGHTS

First mile done March 11th 2025! There is Cole at the one mile mark . The 2 videos show Cole's workout route in the past. During PE in High School he would do 4-5 miles on the treadmill or elliptical in the 30 min he had to use it. Notice his 'unique' technique on the elliptical! He would do that for most of the miles! 

New pics- walking with cousin Ben! 5 miles, Cole builds on his miles like the steady tortoise! 

​Hope you enjoy watching his progress. We will continue to post pictures of his walking. If you see him wave and cheer him one! 

Up to 10, walked to the library and back on Sunday 3/23

Added 7 miles up to 38 miles on Mother's Day!
