Night of Inspiration
Come meet three amazing icons, during a NIGHT OF INSPIRATION, as they tell about their adventures in the Himalayas:
Lhakpa Sherpa: Set the world record for fastest climb of Mt Everest at under 11 hours (takes most people at least 2 months)
Kristin Sumbot: A cancer survivor who recently traveled to Nepal to climb the majestic Mt Imja Tse, accompanied with 20 other cancer survivors from Above + Beyond Cancer
Leslie Katich: A cancer caregiver, mother of Kristin, and constant advocate for cancer patients.
When: October 20th at 7:00
Where: University of Utah Guest Housing and Conference Center (directly east of the 2002 Olympic Legacy Bridge)
Why: To help give someone a chance to beat cancer
What: Inspirational lectures sponsored by the "Radiating Hope" foundation
How Much: Registration: $10.00 general admission. $50.00 VIP, refreshments will be served to all. Raffle items include: vintage ice axe sign by famous mountaineers, kindle touch, and more. Just by singing up you name will be put in the raffle, you can purchase additional raffle tickets for 5 bucks.
This event is bound to inspire! Kristin Sumbot and Lhakpa Sherpa both have amazing stories to tell (see below for background). The event will teach us about the unique parallels between the diagnosis of cancer and the battle that follows compared with the battle to climb an enormous mountain. We will learn about the crisis of cancer care in developing countries, and all the money generated from the night will go to update and provide cancer care to those in Nepal. Not only will you be inspired but just by attending
