Mountain Climbing for Kids

Child in the Khumbu

THANK YOU ...

Hello,

In 2008 I returned to Mt. Everest as part of my Memories are Everything: The Road Back to Mt. Everest - a year long effort to summit Everest and raise $100,000 for Alzheimer's research. Three schools joined me in this journey.

The students followed my climb, Icalled into their classrooms a few times and had some Q&A via email. They learned about the culture, geography and climbing.

The students did fund raising via events for Alzheimer's research. The donations went directly to Cure Alzheimer's Fund with 100% of the funds going to research - none to me, my climbing expenses or the CAF's overhead.


They raised almost $10,000!!!

It was a great adventure for all of us and I am extremely appreciative of their support and fund raising. My sincere personal thanks to:

  • Ginny Allen - Eastern High School - Louisville, Kentucky
  • Anthony Garcia - Boltz Junior High School - Ft. Collins, Colorado
  • Tekla Petrinovich - Straford School - Los Gatos, CA
