Bad Luck, High Spirits

Hi Everyone!

Still, pledges and one time donations are rolling in- awesome! Thank you so much!

Earlier this week John, David and I were conducting training for the local CBS4 news (who is doing a story on us) at Red Rocks Amphitheater. It was a pretty light workout, but we all decided to wear our packs- I decided to use my gear for weight. Bad decision. While the workout went well, I neglected to take my pack out of the back of my rubicon and the inevitable happened. My entire pack was boosted from the back of the jeep! Just a few days before we leave for Whitney. What an inconvenience and heartbreak. I'm one of those people who becomes very attached to their gear. David and I have spent all weekend trying to replace the stolen items in addition to packing and laundry. Hmmm. .. I'd really like to know who thiefed by gear.

Despite the bad luck and nerves, we're all excited to kick off the fundraiser. Tomorrow morning we're off to Bishop, California. It will be great to see everyone involved with the planning of the fundraiser. I'll keep in touch while on the road.

cheers,

Jennifer

Congratulations to everyone who reached the summit of Whitney on Friday, and also to those who didn't quite make it to the top. What an incredible effort by all!

Thanks for including me at the kick-off dinner for 50 for Tibet. I really enjoyed meeting everyone, and wish you all the best on the next 49 states.
