Mt Everest is Earth's highest mountain above sea level, at 29,032 ft! Did you know that it can take over 40 days to summit Mt. Everest? Len Forkas the Founder of Hopecam has been acclimatizing his body (the process of adapting to high altitude, low oxygen environment) for the past 30 days to get ready to summit Mt. Everest! Len is in the home stretch and just days away to head back to Everest Base Camp to complete his climb and summit Mt. Everest.
Len has raised over $395k - thank you to everyone that has donated and sponsored thus far for your generous support!! But we still need your help! Please consider a donation so that when Len summits Everest we can tell him over satellite communication that his goal of $1 million dollars has been reached and Hopecam can connect 4,000 more kids with cancer!
Len does not currently have Internet access, so no video or photos today. We do know he’s back at Everest Base Camp and should summit Thursday - the dates could change depending on a lot of factors. Stay tuned!
In his down time in Kathmandu he caught up on his drawings below.
He honored Hopecam Child Loren, from GIRARDEAU, MO today.
