PASD Microcast #51 - A Look Back at a Medical Emergency and a Yak Attack on Mt. Everest
Show Notes

We are one flight away from Italy. Jeff, Sherrie, and Marilyn are meeting up with most of the Dolomites team members tomorrow. In this episode we take a final look back at the 2013 Mt. Everest Base Camp trek with three short clips: Sherrie talking about a medical condition that caused two of our team to turn around just one day shy of Base Camp; a clip from Bob Baker about a yak attack and a very personal story about the trek; and finally Bill Maddox, one of our trekkers with Parkinson's, on reaching base camp.

This trek is a fundraiser for the Parkinson's Association of San Diego so, if you are so inclined, feel free to click here or on the link below to donate on behalf of one of the hikers.

Thanks for listening and we look forward to sharing the trek to the Dolomite Mountains in Italy through these short podcasts.
