Radiating Hope's Night of Inspiration

Radiating Hope had our "Night of Inspiration" to raise money for a cancer center in Nepal.  I was so very proud of Brandon- it's a ton of work and coordination, and the event went off beautifully!  Kristin Sumbot, a cancer survivor (who I used to babysit :) spoke about her expedition climbing in the Himalayas to raise awareness of the plight of those with cancer in developing nations.  Her talk was incredible!

Lhakpa Sherpa, the record setter for climbing Everest, flew in on his own dime to speak and raise money for us.  He's from Nepal, and has had several family members die from cancer, as they had no treatment options.  His story is incredible, he was truly inspiring!  He climbed Everest in just over 10 hours, something that takes most people 70 DAYS.

Us with Lhakpa, such a sweet man!
