We are hiking! With about half the team assembled in Cortina we did our first acclimatization hike to a spectacular refugio overlooking the whole valley. Today we all got a look at just how powerful these mountains are.  The trek officially starts with a welcome dinner tomorrow, then our 8-day adventure begins.

The magic of this trek is being with the people with Parkinson's. Digging deep and pushing through whatever Parkinson's disease can throw at them, this group epitomizes grit, determination, and a desire to accomplish something incredible.

Everest Base Camp trek with three short clips: Sherrie talking about a medical condition that caused two of our team to turn around just one day shy of Base Camp; a clip from Bob Baker about a yak attack and a very personal story about the trek; and finally Bill Maddox, one of our trekkers with Parkinson's, on reaching base camp.
