We are exactly 45 days out.
Hoping that we can put the gang back together for this great cause?
For those unfamiliar this event raises money to benefit amputee veterans to train and ascend the highest peaks of the world.
Soon there will be a “retreat center” located in Ice House Canyon to specifically be a safe haven of training, hiking, climbing and mountaineering for these vets coming home from combat areas.
Google The Heroes Project for complete details.
Leave a message here if you want more information on getting involved?
Thanks Patrick Moran (Lilbitmo)

The Heroes site says you may load pictures on your landing page. On the WPSMB team I don't see a way to do that. Any help Patrick ?

Here's the basic way to sign up now that Doug Has registered the Cuckoos Nest (WPSMB Group). Go to the Climb for Heroes spot on the Hike for Heroes Website. https://theheroesproject.org/climbforheroesThat'll have a button in the middle of the page that says "Registration CFH 2023" a bright RED Button, click that. Once in the next page at the top right it'll have another button also in red "Sign Up" click that. https://p2p.charityengine.net/2023thphttps://p2p.charityengine.net/2023thp/Register/Activity/Then the next page will say (third choice down) "Join or Support A Team" click inside the little "DOT" and hit next. Go down and find Doug's Team (WPSMB) it's not spelled out just the initials. Click on WPSMB. Set up an account - follow the prompts it's easier this year than past years. Enter your contact information - it's easy. Pay, you are all set. Thanks Team WPSMB

The hike and the day was a success.
Many a laugh was had at the expense of each other.
Thanks to Doug, Ed, Bob, Mike, Dave, Connie and myself for participating.
Thanks to Jeff (Yeti) for volunteering to wear the Yeti suit at Camp #3 and Todd and Jeff to carry up gear to the summit on Friday.
I need to get physical addresses for the following people:
Douglas Forbes
Jesse Dyer
James Flanagan
Bop Huey
Jack and Betsy
Cayden Thompson (not sure if this is Doug's granddaughter or daughter-in-law)
Tom Whitte
And I also need shirt sizes with those addresses.
Some of you I'm friends with on FB so I've sent messages to you there.
If you don't want your address posted here, friend request me on FB at Patrick T. Moran and/or just send a message there. Or send me an email at pmoran1fsl at Gmail dot Com
And super thank you to all that donated to this amazing cause. Hopefully by this time next year, the construction of the new "Retreat for wounded Vets" will be nearing completion in Ice House Canyon, they are breaking ground as soon as weather permits in the spring.
God Bless one and all.

The last of the Tee Shirts went out to those that donated to Team WPSMB, yesterday. Thanks again for your donations. If you didn't get one and you did make a donation let me know I'll get one to you. See everyone at next years event.
