I met Tyler Rogers on the first day of the Everest expedition and we climbed from Lukla to Everest Base Camp. Almost daily he was the videographer for many of the posts honoring our kids and sponsors. When I could not continue the summit he texted and asked for the Hopecam flag and the remaining pictures of the Hopecam children we were honoring on the summit. Just before leaving Lukla for Kathmandu I put them all in an envelope and handed it Chhiring my guide, who got it to the 14 Peaks Team in base camp the morning before Tyler left for the summit. Tyler had developed epileptic seizures after college from a wresting injury and endured four brain surgeries in 2020-2022 to recover. He shot videos for each child before he reached the summit. His guide took the pictures of Dre our summit child with the Hopecam flag that day. On his return he accidentally dropped his iPhone into a crevasse- losing all the videos! But we have the pics from the guides phone to share with you all.
