Dying For The Cause
Last September I wrote about two brothers that were going to attempt to scale Mt. Everest. They were doing this to raise awareness for Huntington's Disease and in the process become the first American brothers to scale Everest together.
Yesterday Mike O'Brien died when he slipped and fell into a crevice while climbing Mt. Everest. He has just finished talking to his girlfriend on the phone when it happened. His brother Chris helped recover the body and is escorting it back to the United States.
My sympathies to the O'Brien's. Their loss is a loss for all of us. Mike and Chris are heroes for risking their lives in an effort to save the lives of those facing Huntington's Disease. We are fortunate to have such good people in our community.
