Welcome to the Beginning


I would like to welcome you to our journey; the Climb for Prostate to the top of Mt Aconcagua, Argentina 2009. Our blog is to bring you closer to our cause, with current news, updates and pictures. We want you to part of the experience.

Our goal is two fold, to raise $100,000 for Prostate Cancer Research and raise awareness through creative multi media .

So far we have completed our website, we have 4 dynamic members (IMHO a dream startup team) , and our startup brochures. I am hopeful with the magic of team work and strong vision we will have movement of volunteers, climbers, sponsor and donors to help us achieve our goals.

Other than our guide, we are a group of men who have never achieved a climb of this character, in terms of time, distance and height. We are also acutely aware the we are living the 1/3 of lives now and our cause is in hope that we can make a difference with Prostate Cancer research.

Welcome to our journey of hope. Brad Henry - Team Leader
