This posting is purely for locals (Utahns), unless you are so interested you want to travel here for the event described below! I invite you to please join me, Pete, Mason, and Liam next Tuesday, March 31 at an event at REI, and then later at Bryant Middle School. Details/flyer below:
A woman named Kel
ly Perkins is coming to town. She is a heart transplant recipient (1995, I think), and she is the first heart transplant recipient to have climbed major mountains, such as Fuji, Kilmanjaro, the Matterhorn, El Capitan, Half Dome, Mt. Aspiring in New Zealand, etc. She wrote a book called The Climb of My Life, and she is here to promote organ donation awareness. She will be climbing (the wall) at REI on 33rd So. that Tues. March 31 at 3:30 pm, I think (I will be there, maybe climbing though I have never done it before?!), and then Kelly will be speaking at Bryant Middle School at 7 pm that night. See attached flyer and Kelly's website - http://craigandkelly.com/ or http://www.theclimbofmylife.com/ (same site). I would love for you all to attend one or both events, both because I think Kelly will be inspiring and because Organ Donation Awareness is obviously a subject that is close to my heart (no pun intended). We will be bringing the boys to the climbing event for certain, maybe to both.Thanks, and hope to see you next Tuesday,
Em
