About TA
TA Loeffler is a unique combination of outdoor adventurer, hockey player, filmmaker, photographer, educator, workshop leader, motivational speaker, and life coach bringing a diversity of experience and expertise to everything she does. Her work and adventures have taken her to 20 different countries and five different continents. TA teaches outdoor eductaion at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
I want to inspire the young people of Newfoundland and Labrador, the province in which I live. I have carried the Newfoundland flag to the highest points in North and South America, the summits of Mount McKinley and Aconcagua. Upon my return to sea level each time, I realized that I was in a unique position to inspire and influence the youth of Newfoundland and Labrador to become more physically active and to follow their dreams.
With this mission in mind, I set an even higher goal for myself, the tallest peak in the world. During the spring of 2007, after 21 months of intense physical training, I will attempt to climb Mount Everest hoping to take the province’s flag to the top of the world. I leave for Nepal on March 17, 2007. As part of the mission of TA's Everest-007, I will have spoken to over 10,000 children before beginning the trek into Everest Base Camp.
