Movement Climbing, Yoga & Fitness Doubles Down on Conservation--Matching Donations to Access Fund Up to $50,000
From June 2 through June 13th, Climbers Can Double Their Impact and Protect Public Lands for Generations to Come BOULDER, Colo., May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Movement Climbing, Yoga, and Fitness, the nation's largest climbing gym network, is excited to announce its 2025 fundraising campaign in support of Access Fund's Climbers for Public Lands initiative. From June 2 through June 13, Movement will match every dollar donated to Access Fund – up to $50,000 – helping climbers preserve the wild places where they thrive. Climbing is more than a sport for those who enjoy it. It allows participants to forge deep connections to nature, community, and personal growth. But nearly 60% of America's climbing areas sit on federal lands now facing budget cuts, overuse, and development pressures. Access Fund's Conservation Team and Climber Stewards work year-round to teach Leave No Trace principles, build sustainable trails, and advocate for climbing access. "At Movement, we believe climbing and conservation go hand in hand," said Anne-Worley Moelter, CEO of Movement Climbing, Yoga & Fitness. "Our match campaign invites every climber to double their impact—protecting the land where our community connects, explores, and grows." Movement's match campaign, which runs between June 2nd and June 13th, means every contribution will go twice as far toward: Expanding Climber Steward Programs to educate more visitors on responsible recreation and Indigenous land histories Deploying Conservation Teams to restore trails, stabilize crags, and partner with land managers Sustaining Critical Stewardship as federal funding declines "We're thrilled to partner again with Movement on this vital campaign," said Heather Thorne, Executive Director at Access Fund. "Their leadership inspires climbers to step up for conservation—ensuring our public lands remain accessible for generations." Movement's Move with Purpose program partners with like-minded organizations to expand access by removing financial and social barriers; supporting outdoor stewardship to protect and preserve climbing spaces for future generations; and fostering community connection and personal growth through leadership development and skills training in climbing, yoga, and fitness. The ongoing partnership with Access Fund is a cornerstone of Movement's Move with Purpose program, reflecting their commitment to support environmental stewardship. Movement invites climbers everywhere to give today and double their impact for the future of public lands: For more information, visit: About Movement Climbing, Yoga and Fitness Movement is the largest nationwide community of indoor climbing gyms.

Anne thanks medical staff who treated those injured in Liverpool victory parade
Medical staff who treated those injured when a car drove into crowds at the Liverpool victory parade have told the Princess Royal they were 'very, very fortunate' there were not more major injuries. Anne visited the Royal Liverpool University Hospital on Tuesday where she met nurses, consultants and paramedics, as well as representatives from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and the football club, after 47 people were injured on Water Street on Monday. Divisional medical director for surgery at Aintree University Hospital Marc Lucky told the princess they had put out an alert for staff to come in. He said: 'It's a very good example of the resilience and people volunteering. We had too many people, which is a very interesting complaint to have.' He told the royal the injuries were not 'major traumas'. He said: 'We were very, very fortunate yesterday, I must say.' Consultant Jay Rathore said: 'Most of the injuries were limb injuries. No life-threatening, we were able to manage them.' Specialist paramedic Susan McCormick told Anne she was one of the first responders on scene as she and a colleague were treating a man for something unrelated when the incident happened. Advanced paramedic Gary Fitzpatrick told Anne: 'We actually had a plan before the event so we were quite prepared for the situation.' Nurses told Anne that planning they had done for major incidents kicked in on the day and processes worked. Liverpool City Council leader Liam Robinson thanked Anne for her visit. He said: 'We really appreciate you still coming, because it will mean a lot to the people of the city.' The princess was already due to be in Liverpool on Tuesday to visit Cunard ship the Queen Anne, which arrived on Monday as part of the shipping line's 185th anniversary celebrations. A photo exhibition which had been due to be held to celebrate the anniversary was cancelled following the incident at the parade.
