Hello Everyone, Updated with the link to track us on game day which is Friday July 19th starting at 6:00 AM MT or 8:00 EST. Thank you so much for your support on all levels. https://lnkd.in/e25WT3PW My son Joshua and I are taking on a challenge this summer in Jackson Hole, WY on July 19th and 20th. We will be participating in the 29029 Everesting Event. To complete the event, we will be climbing the mountain a total of 19 times to achieve the height of over 29029 vertical feet, or the equivalent to the height of Mt. Everest, measured from sea level. https://lnkd.in/etT9CX7j This has been an incredible journey for Joshua and I, and the training has been quite a teacher to both of us. We committed to ourselves to create a purpose or “WHY” around this event. We will be doing this in two ways. First, each lap that we climb will be dedicated to individuals whose lives were or currently impacted by disease, in most cases related to cancer. I’m still figuring out the details, but each person’s name will be carried on the journey each lap. If there is someone in your life that has been or is going through something like this, please reach out and we will add their name to our list. We will all rise together, they will inspire us to climb the next lap and we hope to inspire them. Secondly, we wanted to raise money and awareness for a very special organization that provides support for women going through a cancer diagnosis. The name of the organization is Mary’s Place By The Sea, located in Ocean Grove, NJ. More information about Mary’s can be found here https://lnkd.in/eYhc3j8s , and the link to our fundraiser is at the end of this email. As many of you know, in March of 2021, my body was diagnosed with AML or acute myeloid leukemia. Through what I sometimes refer to as the 4 critical aspects of my healing: 1. The loving support of my amazing wife, family, friends and people that I didn’t even know who prayed for me; 2. The amazing dedicated group of doctors, nurses, technicians and staff at Hackensack Meridian Hospital; 3. The holistic whole body support and treatments that I received; 4. A spiritual/meditation practice that allowed my body to heal and changed me from the inside out; I am now living a life with a renewed sense of purpose. When I was undergoing treatment, I was aware of how fortunate I was to have all of these 4 critical pieces to healing and that this was something not available to most people going through the same challenges. I wanted to be able to give back and be a part of expanding this type of whole human health care to others. Mary’s Place By The Sea, in Ocean Grove, NJ, is such a place that provides the supportive care and services to women whose bodies are going through a cancer journey. Joshua and I would be forever grateful for any contribution to this loving caring organization. Please use the attached link: https://lnkd.in/eyNCAZpB
