Why would anyone fund raise in excess of $10,000.00 by trekking for six to eight hours a day for 14 days straight at mind numbing altitudes?
It's not because I am insane, or because I lost a bet, or because I'm suffering from a bizarre mid-life crisis, or a case of severe empty nest syndrome, or even because I have a lot of time on my hands.
I am doing this quite simply because I can.
I am just stubborn enough to spend the next year training and just stubborn enough to get it done. I love to be challenged. I love to be challenged physically, mentally and spiritually. This journey will push me beyond anything that I have ever experienced. It will take me to places that I have only imagined and it will teach me things that I have only dreamed possible. And through it all, this journey will give me the greatest gift. It will give me the opportunity to give something back so that someone else can push a little further, reach a little higher and live a little fuller.
Welcome to the journey!
