Dear Family & Friends:

My flight departs Los Angeles bound for Kathmandu at 11:20 pm this evening. I am dedicating my North side climb of Mt. Everest to the memory of Chelsea King and Amber Dubois, two beautiful high school students who lived in San Diego county, California.  I am also dedicating the climb to their grieving families.  You can read their stories on the following websites: www.chelseaslight.org  and www.bringamberhome.com

Here are photos of Amber and Chelsea that I am taking with me for the North side climb.

They will be the Angels on my shoulders for this portion of the expedition.

Please keep Chelsea and Amber and their families in your thoughts and prayers.
