Our
team is devoted to leveraging opportunities to raise awareness of
the extraordinary talents of Disabled Athletes, and to prove
the Power of International Friendships to overcome the world's toughest
challenges.
Looking
for a way to inspire your organization to overcome today's daunting
challenges?
Our
team can provide presentations of any length and style to suit the
needs of organizations around the world. Presentations can include
digital slide shows, speeches, and portions of our dramatic narrated
video footage of the team's approach trek and successful ascent
of Mount Everest -- with rare, perfect weather on summit day.
If
you have questions about our expedition or would like to schedule

Dramatic
scene from our expedition movie: Nawang carefully balancing
on the rungs of an icy aluminum ladder with his prosthetic left
leg while stepping forward with his right leg. The team had
to climb up, down, and over dozens of ladders that are used
by all expeditions to get over the many huge crevasses and ice
blocks in the Khumbu Icefall. Statistically is the most dangerous
section of the South Col Route on Mount Everest.
