Everest for KiDs
Stories for children of all ages, especially kids under ten. Read them together and explore the mountains, the people of Nepal and what it takes to climb the highest mountain on Earth.
Everest for KiDs
These stories are for children of all ages but especially for kids under ten. My dream is for parents to read these pages with their kids and help them understand the great opportunities that exist in our world. Help them understand that people who are different from them are not right nor wrong but simply different. That nature holds special mysteries and rewards just waiting for the adventurous. That setting your sights on big goals help you do things you never thought you could. And when times get tough, don’t give up. Life is wonderful and we have an obligation to live it to the fullest.
I hope you find a special connection with these stories and with your kids.

Update: I Made It!
I returned to climb Mt. Everest and stood on the summit on May 21, 2011. You can read about my climbs on my website. This was to raise awareness and research funds for Alzheimer’s Disease and 100% of all donations go to Alzheimer’s. This was part of climbing the 7 Summits, the highest mountain on each continent.
Thank You
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, I called into their classrooms a few times and we 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:
- Andrew Schauer, Webber Junior High School, Ft. Collins, Colorado
- Ginny Allen, Eastern High School, Louisville, Kentucky
- Anthony Garcia, Boltz Junior High School, Ft. Collins, Colorado
- Tekla Petrinovich, Stratford School, Los Gatos, California
Climb On!
