"I believe the International Response Fund has a natural tie-in with the satellite industry where I've spent most of my career and have most of my professional relationships. Like the International Response fund, the satellite industry also serves the global population and is often used to provide communication in disaster areas. The Red Cross is also globally recognized and its International Response Fund should appeal to satellite executives everywhere.
The Red Cross is a very deserving organization whose mission, footprint and reputation, I believe, will allow me the most success in advancing its cause with this expedition.
I am indebted to the companies and individuals who have agreed to sponsor my Mt. Everest climb for the Red Cross International Response Fund. Their commitment and contributions will provide tangible relief to many whose names we may never know or faces never see."
