But, even those who did not climb with us, volunteered to be a part of this cause. When we returned to base camp, we were astonished to find that an 8th grader, who had learned to give shoulder/back massages from her grandfather, decided to offer her services for $2, and raised $91 for Amanda!
As good as a back/shoulder massage felt after lugging a 35 pound pack up and down mountains for two days, I did NOT give her the entire $91 myself!
And others made Get-well cards to send to her!
We all continue to pray for her speedy and complete recovery!
