This is home for site notifications and dispatches from Alan's expeditions plus updates on Memories are Everything Alzheimer's fund raising activities. Alzheimer's is a devastating disease and the true cause of the disease is unknown. Researchers are making great progress but more is needed. And there is hope. I have partnered with the Alzheimer's Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Their mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. 100% of your donations go directly to Alzheimer's issues. None go to Alan's climbing expenses. I encourage you to read more about this excellent organization and make your tax deductible donation today.  |

Hi Alan,
Going up a mountain is tough and turning around is even tougher. I trust you are OK and will do my best to call you next week.
I smile every time I see the photo from Mt. Rainier on this page (profile of a climber). I really smile when remembering you calling out to me when I was roped to you after my tumble on Mt. Hood.
Best,
Bryan

Hey man,
sorry to hear last dispatch goes without saying.
I personally think you showed good judgement
coming down.(not always the case when people are
at altitude)
Ill leave you with 2 thoughts hopefully not 2 cliche.
1.The mountain always wins,climbers try not to
lose.
2.Victory is not sweet unless youve tasted defeat.
Ill keep reading,Doug.

Hi Alan,
Really sorry to hear that you had trouble with your stomach. This sort of thing could happen anywhere, it's a just a pity for it to occur half way up a big mountain, especially after everything you have put in. Best of luck with the training for the next year.
Regards, Paul.
