A young woman came into town the other day. After talking to her I realized that she was on a mission. I have had the pleasure of being able to assist Isabel a little bit the last few days and am honoured to know such a wonderful human. Please read a little bit about Isabel and if you believe that you might be able to lend a hand rest assured that it will be for a great cause.

Update: I spent several days wandering around with Isabel and introduced her to some good contacts I believe? Thanks to Kevin at Fixe Hardware for hooking Isabel up with a new Climbing Rope; To Mark and Bret at La Sportiva for scoring some climbing shoes; The good folks at Adidas for shoes and clothes; Falcon Books and several other publishers are gonna have a knock down drag out battle to see who gets the N.A. rights for her book! Special thanks to Malcom Daly for the assistance in trying to line up a presentation at Neptune Mtnring for Isabel ! Maria and I had a blast thursday evening enjoying dinner and stories (in portuguese) at Bombay restaurant with Isabel! Best of luck on your new journey Isabel, I know that you'll get the funds you need for the Ankle Transplant! Look forward to having you back this fall and you know that you'll have a place at our home anytime!
Bo and Maria
