Wow your niece must have a real sense of achievement from that!
I think we all search for a way to feel better about things after cancer knocks us off our feet. I think I have the strength to try this challenge (I have NEVER done anything like this before) because I' m pretty sure that nothing about it will actually be as hard as what we go through with treatment. Apparently you get headaches and some nausea from the altitude for a day or 2. The thought of that somehow doesn't phase me after all the side effects of treatment that went on for way longer than a day or 2!
I think achieving the level of fitness that I will need to get to Base Camp will help me to have faith in this body of mine again. That will be SO worth it for me!
Hope you are feeling better. Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know about your neice. Girl power!
