Resting at ABC

I just got off the phone with one very exhausted Brian Oestrike. After a 23 hour Summit push; they guys are back at ABC and doing well. No frostbite, no injuries, no headaches. They just need a lot of rest which is exactly what they are doing! The wind delayed their departure; adding significant time to the day. At one point they were worried that the mountain just wouldn’t let them up. Their spirits remained high and well . . . the glorious ending has been written. Later today Chris will have an audio update to post. Channel 3 News in Cleveland also plans to air a story tonight during the 11:00 news.

I am sooooo proud of you and Justin, I am beyond words. When we believe in ourselves, we can make anything happen. I am sure Jackie was watching over you and knew you could reach for the stars!! Fantastic team work from all of you. "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same." - Flavia

Big news around our house! Show-and-tell material for this Friday! You should just see how excited a 6-year-old can get about her cousins Brian and Katie being on Mount Everest. She can point it out on the Globe! (She is convinced (although told otherwise) that Katie got to the top too. Heros are born every day!!You all are her present day heros! THANK YOU! Be quite proud of yourselves! We all remember why you did it. . . and will remind her and tell her the story (again) when she is older.

Peace,
Kristen

As a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from CANCER, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My wife suffered cancer in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she always complain of abnormal vaginal bleeding, and she always have pain during sexual intercourse. . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to cancer . I never imagined cancer. has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it and in one months time she was fully okay even up till this moment she is so full of life. cancer. has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony.
