John Ottenlips Franke | Blog | Music | Programming | Climbing
Welcome!
Hey, I am John Franke, a programmer and musician living in the midwest. I made this site to post about coding, climbing, and music. I am also a Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor.
Thanks for reading,
Feeling generous?
Here are a few of my favorite charities.
Every February, I climb for charity. This year I will donate $1 for every route or boulder sent to MICA Project. You can donate to my fundraiser here or directly on their website.
Donate to Project Healthy Children
Project Healthy Children fortifies food, preventing malnourishment
Donate to Palestine Children's Relief Fund 🇵🇸
Around 50% of Gaza's population is children and they are facing the wrath of an indiscriminate bombing campaign.
