Reaching Beyond the Clouds

Today I found out that my friend has advanced Lou Gehrig’s disease. This is just another example of how tragic these diseases can be: no timely diagnoses  ….. no time! Best of luck and my hopes are with you – no matter where you want to go.

Well, I had to give up ballroom dancing until after the Mt. Everest climb. My foot is giving me too much trouble. It is really sad because my husband and I love to dance: even though we are not that good  – we have fun!

If you would like to get an idea for what it is like to climb the south side of Mt. Everest watch the Discovery Channel’s TV series Everest: Beyond the Limits which starts tomorrow.

After the CSUF article and the ABC News story were released I have received many wonderful comments both from people I know, past students, and new friends. Thank you so much! And please remember to follow the climb starting in April. I will be able to post from Mt. Everest base camp.
