For: Everyone

Hi! I've been thinking about the whole group all night. I just looked at the clock and it's midnight here, which means you've probably already made it to the summit and are heading back to camp. I can only imagine how difficult and rewarding this whole journey has been, and I have so much admiration for all of you. Whether you were able to make it to the summit or not, in my book, you're all amazing and inspiring! I hope that those who haven't been feeling well soon find some relief. Get back s

Although deep down I know she's been with you the whole way up with mountain and celebrating with you at the top! TJ, you're the best big brother she could ever ask for! Ang, way to repre

For: Myra and Ivan

Myra: So here's the deal... As you approach the summit, let Nugget take the lead. Then, just a few meters before summit, push him out of the way, and run past him to the top, yelling "VICTORY! I AM THE VICTOR!!!" Just make sure you don't rip any of his skin-tight shirts in the process. He doesn't like when that happens. Happy Summit, you guys! We're thinking of you!

For: To Ang and TJ

Wish I was there to take in the view with you guys. I know that Jax is there with you! We are all so proud of your accomplishment!! Come home safe! We can't wait to give to a great big hug and give you your WELL DESERVED Mighty Taco!!!

For: Kevin

By the time you read this you will have reached the summit. I have so much enjoyed reading this blog and all the posts. I look forward to it every night. You have no idea how proud we, your family, are of you! Poppie is watching over you, I know, as well as our other angels. That has made it a bit easier for me as far as worrying about you goes. Stay strong and safe on your way down and take lots of pictures of the tremendous view. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

For: T.J.& Ang.

T.J. I knew all along if you were able to train to be an ALL American diver the mountain couldn't hold you down. Stay tough. Looking forward to all those great pictures. Loads of LOVE.

For: Lise and the Whole Team

You have almost reached the summit and soon you will have a view of nearly the entire earth.

For: Valerie

I am so excited for you..In few house you will be at the summit..Enjoy every moment of it.. I don't have to tell you. If you have something to write on, write down what you think and what you feel. I am sure that will be worth reading years later..I have been bragging about you to everyone i know.. I am at Charlotte now but will make it back to Rochester on time to see you next weekend.

For: Lise (Mom)

By the time you see this you will have hopefully reached the summit. I know I have said it before but I am so proud of you, you are an amazing mom and grandmother and my boys are lucky to have you to look up to. Charlie is smirking somewhere with his sideways smile and thinking, "Damn, the old bird really did it!" You are celebrating Charlie's life in a beautiful way and somewhere he is dancing his ass off and celebrating this victory with you. I love you Mom.

For: Valerie

It seems that it didn't post all of my message. So, i continue.. I am sure you will get to the top with your big smile and endless energy. And we will see pictures of you from a summit with BD posters. YOu probably will read it after your BIG DAY, but i still wish you luck, and we all thinking about you (and have a drink for you) in this warm and cozy room :)

For: Angela and TJ

So the Oscars are starting now but in just a few hrs you guys will be walking an even better red carpet right to the top!!! I feel so bad that you're getting sick. Just keep thinking how far you've come and that you're doing something that the rest of us can only dream of! Sending all my strength your way! I'm so proud of you both and knew you would conquer this! Always believing in you! Love you and miss you so much!!! xoxo

For: Valerie

I am reading this blog and thinking that why we are sitting in this warm room with TV, you are already started your final climb in this freezing weather. It is really hard to believe. You are so close to the target and i am sure you will make it. I cannot imaging what kind of experience it is. Something tells me that this is just a beginning for you, and this won't be the last journey. According to the blog, that is a tough time for you right now. I still have no doubt that you will get there wi

For: Sam

Wow....unbelievable that you are at 16000 feet....likely higher by the time you read this. I'm sure the rewards are worth the upset stomach! Proud of you, Sam - and think you're incredible for attempting this.

For: TJ and Angela

I know you won't see this until after you reach the summit, but I'll pretend you will.We are cimbing each long and difficult step with you.When you stumble,we will be there to help you up, when you may not think you can go any further,we will be there to give you strength,when your breathing gets hard,we will breathe for you.We are with you and we are so very proud of you.Love Jacquie and mom

For: TJ and Angela

Almost to the top....Accept where you are, remember where you've been, but most importantly know where you want to be.

For: Joan, Jane

I'm so conscious that RIGHT NOW is when the struggle for the summit is underway. I've connected with some web sites showing videos taken by others on this last part of the venture, so have some idea of what you may be like. I admire you both so so much. I hope you are safe, but imagine that the rewards of this attempt will be a highlight of both your lives. Bless you both.

For: Valerie

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! You are so awesome! You are not on the upset stomach list, so what's a headache, really? Headache is just an excuse, you know (see me winking here and I am not a hallucination). Btw, it had been noted by doctors that headaches are cured with sex, though I doubt this is something you can opt to there. By I digress. Big, awesome day for you tomorrow!!! Big, BIG, HUGE!!! You can do it and brag to me about it later. Love you! You are great!

For: Ernani and Noel

I can't believe you are almost there! I am so excited for you guys! Can't wait to hear about your summit tomorrow morning. I know Mom is there watching your every step. Good luck to you and the rest of the group.

For: Kili Climbers

When I returned from Kili, I created a video that I hope to edit with pictures of your climb. I created it to remind all of us that it's not how you get or how far you go, its the difference you make along the way. Your journey is not only an inspiration to so many, but is truly making a difference to so many more. God Bless and enjoy the wonderful air on the way down.

For: Angela

Hi Ang! Sorry you have a tummy ache. I hope you feel better soon, Daddy says think of the pulled pork he makes for you, Mommy doesn't think that is such a good idea. But anyways, Keep strong. Love and Miss you, Hugs and Kisses from your little Man Aiden!!

As I write this, you are about to begin your long journey up to the summit - certainly a night you will never forget. By the time you read this, you will be on your way down to thicker air. No matter what happened in between, remember that you all summitted the minute you got on the plane to Africa. You are ALL HEROES in our minds and in our hearts. Congrats for making the trip and inspiring everybody with your incredible journey. Proud to have you all in the family!

For: TJ & Angela

So close to Summit Day I can't believe it! By the time you guys actually see this you may already be climbing, but good luck! You have more angels waiting for you at the top than most people could wish for. Be safe, can't wait to celebrate when you return!

For: All

I can't believe Bruce Batman McLellan has not sent a message to you yet with a new song. So since he's not there to sing to you here are some words from his song that we all sang when we were climbing. (Rick - you need to sing this just like Bruce now) "Just one step, one step more, to the ceiling of the world on Tanzania's shore. Just one step, one step more, Think of all the people we are fighting for."

For: Angela (continued)

You can do it and we're all cheering you on! Keep believeing and keep walking. Love, Sadie

For: Kili Team 2011

Rick, Yusuf and Kili Climbers! Congratulations on making it to Barafu and being just hours away from seeing Uhuru! We are all thinking about you back home and praying for a safe climb to Uhuru and return to Mweka camp! Have fun and don't forget to enjoy every minute!! xoxoxo Elizabeth

For: Angela

You're probably freaking out because your stomach is upset.It's okay-it happens and you can still keep going!Last year Nicole threw up at the summit behind a rock.It was pretty funny.The point is even people with upset stomachs go all the way.AND look at how far you've come already-no matter what happens you have succeeded!Keep walking and focus on the breaks.Muhammed is great about knowing when to break so just focus on the next one.If you need to drink your juice do that for a burst of energy.

For: TJ & Ang

You guys have come sooooo far!!! You have made it to the LAST LEG of the trip! You guys have persevered through so much. I hope you all know how proud of you both we all are!! You'll be back before you know it, on lower ground, drinking beer and getting iced, eating whatever your heart desires, being with the ones you love. Sheryl was so right, Jacquie will never leave you! We know she is with you every step of the way; as are all of us. You are in our hearts and on our minds all of the time. G

Getting to the top is optional, but getting down is mandatory. A lot of people get focused on the summit and forget that. Ed Viesturs Tomorrow is what every one has been preparing for. Now the going will get tough and the effort/suffering/endurance/exhaustion/exhilaration more than most everyone has experienced in their lives. Hope the excitement of summit push makes everyone feel their best and that all can summit but at the same time listen to their bodies and turn back if necessary for their
