Alan on the summit of Everest, 5:00AM May 21, <\/a> 2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I summited Everest on May 21, 2011 and posted this audio dispatch directly from the top of the world using a satellite phone. This was the third of my 7 Summits climbs for Alzheimer’s.<\/p>\n

It was an emotional experience from a mountaineering perspective but more so on behalf of Alzheimer’s individuals, their families, caregivers and researchers. Read the full trip report <\/a>for all the details.<\/p>\n

I lost my mom and two aunts to Alzheimer’s. Please join me to end Alzheimer’s by making a donation today. Read the details.<\/a><\/p>\n
