Mark, you amaze us with your super dadness everyday! We have no doubt that you will make it to the base of Mount Everest. We have seen you climb much bigger mountains than that right here in Dallas. You are amazing-straight from Sully’s mouth!! We love you and will support you in any way we can.

That is my shirt you have on in your picture, NICE!!! Hope my sleeping bag keeps you warm at 18,000 feet! BRRRRRRRRRRR! So much for the tshirt exchange…maybe I can get some body products.

Go gettem! One foot in front of the other and always be looking up…that is the best part.

As your 37 hour trip to the foot of the mountain is now over you realize that the journey has just begun. It will be hard the whole way, but never give up. You are always in my thoughts and prayers and I could never be prouder.

Hi Mark! I’m so amazed at what you’re doing! I love seeing the photos, it’s gorgeous but the physical challenge is way too much for me. Stay out of the ice crevasses! We’re jsut hanging around at the good old Target CLR so I’m sure you’d rather be here being bored!
