“Some people believe that the mountain of fear, distrust and intolerance that is often based on race and religion can't be overcome. Our Everest Climb for Peace will provide the world with inspirational stories, pictures and video which portray courage, friendship and teamwork under some of the most extreme conditions. We'll show the mountain can be conquered, and we'll climb it together.”
“At advanced base camp, we'll be breathing only half the oxygen we're used to at sea level. By the time we reach the summit, we'll be climbing, sleeping and eating at heights that only jet liners cruise.”
“There is so much intolerance and so many people are dying because of race, religion and culture. People see difference before they see the humanity in others. I'm not so naive as to think my climb will change the world, but I think it can inspire people.”
