| Climbing to cure lymphoma |
| In January 2008, a team of two climbers summited Mount Aconcagua, in Argentina, to raise money for the Lymphoma Research Foundation and increase awareness of lymphoma and other life threatening diseases. Aconcagua is the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, at 22,841 feet, and is one of the "Seven Summits" (the highest peaks on each of the seven continents). All expenses for the climbing expedition have been funded by the climbers themselves. All of your generous donation goes directly to the Lymphoma Research Foundation. Over $2000 has been raised for the LRF to date, and we will continue collecting donations in conjunction with this climb through mid-February. Thank you! |

The guys have made it to camp 2! Yeah!! They are going to sleep early to wake up at 2am tomorrow to start for their summit bid. The weather reports they are getting is telling them tomorrow is the best weather window in the next 2 weeks. Tonight they are camping right beside the Polish Glacier. They are very excited to summit tomorrow. I will write more when I hear from them.

Our hopes and prayers are with Jeff and Mark as they move toward the summit. I have only summited in Oregon and Colorado with 14,000 ft being the highest, so I have tremendous admiration for making it past
20,000 ft. Our family admires the effort in the climb, appreciates the link to the lymphoma research effort, and cherishes the best wishes and prayers for our personal campaign in my cancer diagnosis and
ultimately the treatment. CLIMB ON, Men. And God-speed.
We hope our prayers strengthen and encourage you toward the summit as your prayers have done for us during John's recent health crisis. Love to both of you, Mom
