This was the first time the husband and father hiked the mountain since the operation following a COVID-19 infection.
The sun was rising on the brisk Saturday morning as Bob Horbaczewski, 44, was at the foot of Camelback Mountain with his wife, Monique, and their daughter, Athena, ready to take on Phoenix’s highest peak.
At Echo Canyon Trailhead, Horbaczewski was joined by some of the medical professionals who worked on his transplant at St. Joseph’s Norton Thoracic Institute. The occasion marked the start of the hospital’s second annual “Norton Hike” fundraiser. Among the hikers was 75-year-old Roy Devin, who received a lung transplant in July 2021 after facing down idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Devin went up Camelback as he chatted with a young pulmonologist bowing out of the trek while citing a fear of heights.
