Climb4Life 2007: Michael Reardon to help raise money for Team Bury the Dragon
but where should he stay??
This last summer at the Climb4Life event in Salt Lake, Team Bury the Dragon got to meet Michael Reardon. He's cool. He's insane. He's amazing. He's inspiring. He's insane.
Michael is pretty darn famous in the climbing community. He free solo's some really hard climbs that I can't even comprehend. It was really cool to meet him out in Salt Lake: to talk to him, to climb with him and to watch him teach my little sister how to boulder. I think that was my favorite part. That was really cool.
I'm sure I'll gush about Michael another time... so... long story short -- Michael agreed to stop in Philadelphia during his speaking tour and donate all the proceeds from the auction to Team Bury the Dragon!!! And a percentage of the money collected at the door will be donated to the HERA foundation. How very cool is that! Now Sam, Colleen and I are working on how to exploit make the best use of Michael's generosity so we can raise lots and lots of money. Here's the official Jess-blog announcement:
