We are proud and thrilled to report that Alan Arnette and his teammates have successfully reached the summit of K2!!!\u00a0\u00a0 Congratulations to:<\/p>\n

Alan Arnette – USA<\/p>\n

Matthew Dupuy \u2013 USA<\/p>\n

Garrett Madison – USA<\/p>\n

Kami Rita Sherpa – Thame Solu Khumbu, advice Nepal<\/p>\n

Fur Kancha Sherpa – Thame Solu Khumbu, Nepal<\/p>\n

Kami Tshering Sherpa \u2013 Pangbotse, Nepal<\/p>\n

Just an hour ago, Alan told me over the sat phone that he greatly appreciated the help of his team mates, especially Kami Rita Sherpa.\u00a0 He said he hugely appreciated\u00a0everyone who has been following and supporting this expedition to fight against Alzheimer’s, especially Albila, Cure Alzheimer’s Fund and USAgainst Alzheimer’s.<\/p>\n

Then in a powerful and emotional voice Alan emphatically\u00a0said: “Tell everyone I can feel their support. Tell them I appreciate it. Tell them all that we can beat Alzheimer’s. Ask them to donate so that\u00a0we can beat it soon.”<\/p>\n

That is Alan’s message\u00a0from the summit of K2 to all of us.<\/p>\n

Please donate now. Thank you.<\/p>\n

Be sure to listen to Alan’s blog post just prior to this one to hear\u00a0his\u00a0stirring words, recorded\u00a0on summit of K2.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0admin Jim, on behalf\u00a0of Alan Arnette who has now climbed\u00a0K2 for Alzheimer’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
