In January of 2007 a team  from the Pink Ribbon Foundation Malaysia (Breast Cancer Foundation,Malaysia) set out to Climb Mt. Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Southern Hemisphere, as a symbolic message to cancer survivors in Malaysia (and elsewhere) that life is worth living & fighting for whatever the circumstances.  Each one of the team members' lives had been affected by the disease both directly (team leader Rene'e is a cancer survivor) & indirectly.  Each had a mission to accomplish both as a team & as individuals.

We had the privilege of providing them with back up power with our solar chargers.  Although power was available at various junctures, a back up was necessary to cater for Murphy's law.  They embarked with 4 units.  However the returned with only 3.... and cash from their guide who immediately saw the value of the charger.  Up there (more than 22,831 ft above sea level) what is the price of a phone call when you REALLY need it?

My personal & company motto is "Saving the Planet, One Day at a time".  Sometimes that means helping someone else share THEIR message of hope and action so that others maybe inspired to make a difference.

PS we have to thank the telco that sponsored the satellite phones.  We wouldn't have had the opportunity to help if they hadn't lost their solar chargers!
