Update

I will be sending out a Constant Contact email update next week. My Wish Climb is still scheduled for this October.

Update

As of today, my trip to Ama Dablam is still a go. The people of Nepal need the money that western guides and their clients bring. Climbing expeditions also help raise awareness of the devastation that occurred during the earthquake of April 25th.

Many of you have been asking about the dangers of a trip at this time. Not only do I want to continue to raise money for Make-A-Wish, but the dollars I spend in Nepal may also help many of the Sherpa guides whose homes were destroyed.

So I am still asking for your support. Please consider donating at the links on this blog.

More Wish Facts

More than 78 percent of Michigan wishes require air travel, making it a critical – and costly – resource. In fact, we anticipate that more than 300 wishes will involve travel this year alone – that’s more than 98 million airlines miles.
