It has been about a month since the Big Climb. I think we have finally recovered!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported Team Ezra, we appreciate it so much! This Big Climb was very exciting for us as Ezra was the official honoree of the 2010 Big Climb. We felt so honored to have him chosen for this, but we also felt a lot of pressure to get Ezra's story out there and involve as many people as possible. This translated to many hours of emails, phone calls, interviews, and emotional exhaustion. But through this great effort we hoped to raise Leukemia awareness, and help the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society raise funds for blood cancer research, as well as helping patients and their families currently fighting blood cancers. We received donations from a great number of people far and wide and appreciate each one of our supporters. The Final results will be tallied and released next week and I will post them here at that time.
Our team had about 50 people climb, which was awesome. Some were walkers, some were racers. Our fastest team member was my nephew Eric, who traveled from Park City, UT to climb with us. Milo was our 2nd fastest team member, and also the 2nd fastest racer under twelve. He finished in 12 minutes, which was smokin' fast. As with last year, most of our fastest times went to the kids on our team. In the recovery room after our climb, we got to watch my nephew Eric - who is a firefighter and paramedic - "assist in saving a life," when one of the climbers, not from our team had a heart attack and collapsed. Eric is as modest as he is awesome.
Stay tuned for final result tallies.
