THE MISSION

The Apex Woman Project is the mission of Marie-Pier Desharnais to take an active part in the women empowerment movement by elevating the female footprint to 5 of the highest or most challenging peaks on the planet.

And the top is only the beginning!

As part of Apex Woman Project, I became the 1st person from Quebec and the 1st Canadian female to raise Canada’s flag on the summit of K2. The 22nd of July will definitely forever remain a very special day!

I’m extremely happy and proud but as I keep saying..THE TOP IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!
