While I work on the book telling my story, I posted a few more pictures in the Photo Gallery to give you a taste of the experience.

I have been working on the write-up of the Mt. Everest experince. However, I will be speaking at the Vasculitis Foundation’s Symposium at the end of July and I must work on the presentation.

One of our team (Jona-Marie) sent me a photo from the trek into base camp. It shows the Everest summiters and Jona-Marie summited Loboche.

Another major news release!

Another news story was just released and I have had so many media and speaking contacts I cannot keep up with the replies. To make it more confusing, I am away at a conference for three days! This is all good because it brings the media attention; thus, public awareness to the rare disease organizations!!!!!!
