LOL When I had watched her video, I thought WOW! I could NEVER do that! LOL She is amazing. Do NOT ever feel like a failure!

Oh yes, I see more clearly, what you wrote was that 'one of I'd has climbed My Everest. I saw her on TV and immediately felt like a failure. I mean hooray for her, but my body 'climbs mountains' just getting through a day. Lol. O guess we all have our own mountains, right?

That is Cindy Abbott who has climbed Everest and is running mushers in the Iditarod race. I think she lives somewhere in S. California. Too busy to be posting on here much, I'll bet. Don't know that I've seen her video!

She was going to show her 'movie' in Los Angeles so they were advertising it on the news here. I'm just South of LA

Ah, yes, I now remember hearing something about that. She's on Facebook, perhaps something about it will appear there, too.

Anne, I'm not sure but I think this video of Cindy in what they are talking about. It is doing the rounds at the moment.

I will also say that Cindy and the team she is with, would never ever mistreat her dogs - EVER

Thanks so much, Michelle! I watched it and it made me cry in a very good way. What an inspiring person she is. (And I must correct my earlier terminology; mushers are not the dogs but the person "mushing" them is the musher, which I probably already knew.... the old Weggie brain strikes again.)

There was an article about Cindy in the last VF newsletter. Talking about her accomplishments and the the show with Valerie Harper narrating it. She also has a website reachingbeyoundtheclouds.com
