Alexander’s Cliffhangers

Dave — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:29:01 +0000

Hello friends -

On the weekend of June 19, my son Nick and I are joining a group of old friends to climb Mount Shasta and will attempt the summit. We’re taking part in a nationwide event to raise money for research and increase awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a devastating illness affecting my friend Paul Cliff’s son Alexander, age 11.

Please consider a donation within your means to support our team, to support this event, and most important to support Alexander Cliff, a young boy facing challenges greater than any mountain peak: http://www.firstgiving.com/alexandercliff

Our friends Doug Glover and Troy Paff, the camera team from Discovery’s “Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe,” will be documenting the climb and I’ll provide updates via Twitter as often as possible.

Thanks for your consideration.
